Volleyball gear (appropriate volleyball shoes, shorts/leggings, kneepads, maybe an extra shirt or two if you are extra sweaty!) and a water bottle. Water Bottles with open ended straws on top will not be permitted inside the gym to reduce spills. If you accidentally bring a cup with a straw, it will be stored outside of the gym.
Campers will always have an assigned camp coach with them throughout the day and there will be court supervisors and athletic training staff available in the event of a medical emergency.
Check-in will take place in the lobby of the Davies Gymnasium main entrance near the restrooms in the front of the building. At this check-in we will make your child a nametag which they will wear all day before heading upstairs to the gym.
Yes, check-in will take place every day in the lobby before camp begins so that we have an accurate attendance and head count of players in the gym.
There will be no seating available for parents to stay and watch camp. Due to the limited size of Davies gym we would ask parents to simply drop off and pick up their child. If there are any extraordinary circumstances that would require a parent to stick around for camp please let us know in advance.
Please notify the camp director at check-in that your child will need an early release and if you plan to come inside to pick-up or if we need to escort your child outside to be picked up.
No, at this time we are only offering commuter camps so that gives families and teams the flexibility to make their own housing decisions.
All camps will take place at Davies Gymnasium except for the July 10-11 camps which will take place in Banterra Arena and Davies Gym if needed.
Pick-up will take place in the Davies lobby, camp coaches will be with the players until everyone has been picked up for the day. If you want to stay in your vehicle to pick-up, that is okay as well just let us know in advanced so that a camp coach can escort the child outside.
