Some of the topics covered in a STAR rookie & veteran camp:
Proper warmup and stretching.
Why warm up? Why stretch?
Passing:
platform, staying still, using legs; 1st contract with hands.

"BEST" method; everyone in camp will learn to set.
Hitting:
Master the 3-step approach; tipping.
Serving:
The 3 priorities in serving; floaters & spinners.

Proper footwork; strong hands and core.
Digging:
"Covering the shoes," staying still, getting on the floor, getting
the ball up.
Serve Receive:
Aggressiveness; 3-person or 4-person; communication.
Offense, Defense, 3's, 4's, 6's
..............competitions and team bonding drills from the first day
to the last day.
Volleyball "Citizenship":
My assistants give talks on
"S"
smart,
"T"
team,
"A"
attitude,
and if there's time,
"R"
realistic expectations for playing in college.
There will be stations
for setters & blockers.
All STAR camps have assistant coaches who are specialists in setting &
blocking.
There will be an end-of-camp tournament,
if time permits, where the kids
can show their parents what they've learned!!

Want to see what dates are available
for the summer of 2008? It's
here!! |
And yet, the price is so low!
Please compare the quality,
cost, & satisfaction
of my camps to any others in the USA.
I don't think you'll find a better camp for your children.

I
received this email from John Kessel, USA Volleyball
[When
someone asked for help] I thought of you. You are
CAP.
I think you might have even been to one of my courses. So when
this guy wanted to start a program for boys and said Virginia,
Tom Houser's name came to my head. My focus is on working with
coaches who are positive and get it, and you have always been
one who does get it. |
More Details for Coaches About
Hosting a 2007 STAR Camp: |
|
I've
discovered that coaches & parents would prefer to pay a little
more in order to have older assistant coaches.
So the cost
in 2007 will be $6 per hour per camper, if your school is within
commuting distance. This cost increase will go directly to
attracting & paying experienced, high quality assistants.
However, even with this price increase, your players can still
receive a 16 hour camp for under $100!! I think that's
incredible! |
|
If I can commute each day
to your camp site,
....then there will be a $1000
nonrefundable deposit due one month before the camp begins. Why? Well, even
though I have tried to be clear about "15 campers in each session,,"
I've had to cancel several camps recently...........after
the first day of camp! A deposit will guarantee that we're
all on the same page. |
|
If your camp is not within
commuting distance (but is drivable):
* the cost will be
$7 per hour per camper (the extra is for the coaches' expenses);
* with the same $1000 nonrefundable down payment due one
month in advance;
* a $2000 minimum total payment, and;
* The host coach will also be responsible for reserving & paying
for two hotel rooms (we'll need high speed wireless internet).
|
|
If my staff & I have to fly:
* the cost will be
$7 per hour per camper (that will take care of the coaches'
expenses)
* with the same $1000 nonrefundable down payment due one
month in advance;
* a $2000 minimum total payment, and;
* the host coach will also be responsible for purchasing the
plane tickets, reserving & paying for two hotel rooms (we'll
need high speed wireless internet), and
providing transportation. |

I
received this after the
Jefferson Forest camp in June
of 2007.
Dear Coach Houser:
I just really want to thank you for camp this week. This week
has been so much FUN and I learned A LOT! The drills were
sometimes difficult, but definitely important and I was glad we
all made it through them. Even though I am really sore, I am so
glad I came to camp. You inspired us all with your speeches and
we will take your words to heart and hopefully not only change
ourselves but our team. Your attitude speeches really helped me,
because if our team starts losing I usually start giving up and
I know I will no longer do that, but keep my head up, cheer on
my team, and get through that game no matter how poorly we do.
After all, the team comes first, words you spoke. Your camp made
me such a better player and person in such a short time, if I
had to do it on my own, it would have taken me four or five
times as long. I really hope u continue to do this camp for very
LONG, LONG, time, because not only will I miss out on the years
to come my team mates would too and that would be a lot to lose.
I want to encourage you to continue with being such a great
coach even if some of us do mess up in the future which I know
you will bust us for, but not out of anger, because you care so
much, more than many other coaches. Once I got there I was
pumped, excited, and ready to get out on the court and makes
some great plays, cheer, and have fun. Unfortunately today when
it was time to go and I was thanking all the assistant coaches I
was so sad, because I knew that camp was over and won't be back
until next year. But I am looking so forward to next year, and I
and the other players will be twice as good as before so look
out because Jefferson Forest Volleyball is back!
