Volleyball Camps

Girls Entering Grades 5-8 | August 7-9 (9:30am-12pm) Price: $125
Volleyball camp is run by head coach Wendy Stammer and assistant head coach Sean Daugherty.  This camp is geared toward skill development for all levels of play and includes technical training for serving, passing, setting, hitting, and defense. There will be individual skill development, partner drills, and group drills.  There will be several opportunities for game play throughout the camp which can be anywhere from 2 v. 2 to 6 v. 6 team drills.  Players will be grouped according to their skill level, not the age of the player. This ensures that we are advancing each group and teaching them at a pace according to their skill level.  5th-6th grade players will be placed in groups that use a volley lite volleyball and 7th and up will use a regular weight volleyball.

Time Frame:
Families may drop off their athlete 30 minutes before camp starts and may pick up athletes any time within 30 minutes of camp ending.

Athletes who arrive or depart outside of this 30-minute grace period will be billed $75. Invoices will be sent via email for credit card payment, or families may pay in-person by cash or check made out to St. Mary’s Academy.

Location: 
Camps are held at St. Mary's Academy, except for soccer camp which is held at Buckman Field. For the convenience of our families, we do not require a formal, in-person check-out process at St. Mary's Academy. This allows families to pull up in our front drive or temporarily park nearby without having to locate and pay for a parking spot in downtown Portland. At the end of camp, students may then leave St. Mary’s Academy and meet their parent/guardian at their family-designated pick-up location. Because of the construction around Buckman Field, we do recommend that a parent/guardian park and pick up their student from the field.

Of course, families have the option of formally picking up their daughter inside St. Mary’s Academy. Families may also provide St. Mary’s staff a list of individuals approved to pick up their daughter from camp. Our goal is to ease the pick-up process, and we trust that families will pick their campers up in the manner that best meets their families’ needs.

Families will receive a final confirmation email one week before the start of camp, which includes a list of what to bring each day, drop-off and pick-up information, and any last-minute details about the camp itself.

Students should bring a water bottle and wear appropriate athletic attire and shoes.
