Girls Volleyball Camp Registration | Register by June 2 | Grades 4th - 8th (Fall 2023) - Sign Up Here

This AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) program is a club team offered to girls in grades 5-11. Year after year, we have seen the benefits these practices and tournaments can bring! Therefore, we would like to invite your daughter to participate in this rewarding experience.

​

OUR GOALS:
* Learn, develop, and improve their skills & knowledge in the game of volleyball.
* Experience the excitement of being on a team & learn how to be a good teammate.
* Have fun, build friendships, & explore the gifts and talents God has given them.
* Learn that volleyball is one aspect of their life to glorify God.

 

TEAMS:

Depending on the interest shown, we hope to have between 1-4 teams for each grade level. All participants will be placed on a team with no cuts being made. However, we do feel that the girls gain the most benefit from the program when they are placed with players of similar skill levels. An average player’s opportunity for improvement will be held back should she begin to always rely on a stronger player. The highest level of accomplishment comes through when a player is challenged to succeed. Please note that the team placement of the girls does not have any connection to future years; it is only an indication of where we see your daughter currently and where we feel she can best improve.

​

SCHEDULE:

​

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Coach Patty Timmermans

OTHER NOTES:
It should be noted that every effort is made to avoid conflicts with the local schools and the events that they sponsor. Priority should always be given to those school events. Should an unforeseen conflict arise, please discuss this with the coach AND Patty Timmermans as soon as possible.

We are in NEED of approximately 30 – 40 coaches for the program! Please consider becoming involved in this capacity! It is a remarkable experience to see the players develop and the team bonding that occurs.

Coaches or assistant coaches can be parents, older siblings, current or former players. Please call or email one of the committee members for more information or to volunteer your services as a head or assistant coach.

Thank you for your continued interest in this program. We will always be happy to hear your input or answer
any questions.
