Your efforts last summer definitely paid off with the local
teams. Thanks for your investment in our program and the
program at
Roanoke Catholic! You
are awesome!

I was encouraged how much our girls improved this year. I am really excited that
our serve receive and defense really improved. That more
than anything is what I have gleaned from our friendship.
Defense, serve receive, defense, serve receive, defense.

We are from Richmond and I have watched you. It is clear
that you love this sport more than anyone I have ever seen
before. I have seen you coach your kids and you teach them
how to do it right and with high expectations. Kids need
you!

Thank you for taking the time to help us build a team! I
always enjoy being around you and watching you coach, but
most importantly TEACH!
Mary Tyree, head coach at Covington High School
~~~~~~~~~
Coach Houser's camp was
a home run for our girls! There is no question that the
girls grew an incredible amount both individually and as a
team. The amount of individual attention, encouraging but
intense instruction, and thoughtful dialogue make this camp
hard to beat. I would recommend it to any coach or team as
great alternative or complement to going to a college
program's volleyball camp."
Will Greene, host of the Virginia Episcopal STAR camp in
2010

Danny Miller and
his staff were awesome. They really helped the players.
My players were asked by the assistants to give more effort
all the time, which is great advice, especially from someone
close to their age. Please tell Danny and his
staff thank you for everything they did. The camp was a lot
of fun.
Heidi Moore, host of the Patrick Co STAR camp in
2010

Because of your camp my daughter has attended for the past two
years, she was named MVP for the middle school team at Timberlake
Christian!
It is worth the money! I recommend it to many moms.

excited about you coming to Dan River to help our players
and program. I believe in the future we will look back
on this week as a turning point in the turnaround of the
program."

"One of the main
things I am so proud of is the way my girls played as a TEAM, and I want
to thank you for starting that with us at camp this summer. That
made a huge difference this year."

you all here this week. I know the girls learned tons and are very
grateful. I also learned quite a bit and want to thank you all for,
not only the skills lessons, but all the talk about TEAM. I know the
girls that came to the camp will help me with that. I will
definitely keep in touch throughout the season & I know we would
love to have you come back next year."
Whitney Dove, head coach at Riverheads High in Staunton, VA, STAR
host in 2009

"I wanted to let
you know that I received good news this week! I will be the head

got the approval this week. I can't wait to put into practice some
of the things I have learned at your camps the last two years."

because I would tell anyone! I manage a large company and I know
great leadership when I see it. Thanks again for staying close to
your players."

We all walked into the gym this morning and knew it wasn't
going to be the same without you guys back for this summer's camp. We miss all of you so
much and wish you guys aren't up here again. :( We're
not laughing or anything. Just wanted to let you know that
we're all thinking of you guys. Some of us have already called Devyn
and Sam because we miss steal the bacon, and "DEAL?" "PICKLE!" and
all of the little things, especially taking notes in the hallway as
we talk about our lives that bring us together with the great game
of volleyball. After we stretch at the end of the day, us
seniors bring the team together in our huddle and do your infamous
"TOGETHER WE CAN." And we'll never forget what you've taught
us about ourselves to make a team.
~~~~~~~~~
July 12, 2010.
I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the
VIP
last night with Devyn
and today's
Rising Stars Camp. This is Olivia's 1st time really ever
playing volleyball and she is just so excited. I thought maybe
this might be a sport that builds her young spirit up and brings out
her passion for a sport. The last 2 days of her spending time with
your organization has really excited her. I just wanted to tell you
that you have done a really great job with this game of volleyball
for these girls. Im just so impressed and Devyn is a gem.
Really Great!!!!We all walked into the gym that morning at nine and
knew it wasn't going to be the same without you guys. We miss all of
you so much and can't believe coach didn't call you guys back to
come back up here again. :( It's not that Coach Starr isn't a good
coach or that he doesn't know what he's doing, because he sure does,
he just doesn't get involved with us. It's like he barely knows our
names and just seems to be treating us as another camp for a pay
check or something.

The High Expectations camp i went to at VES was definitely the most
helpful camp Ive been to all summer. I got in lots of reps and the
amount of knowledgeable coaches there allowed a lot more attention
to be focused on individual players. Thanks!

Emily had a
great time at TCS last summer and your style of coaching the

wanted to tell you---- We stayed to watch your team at RVC-They
are something else !!!!
Thanks for all you do !

Thanks to you and your team of coaches for doing an AWESOME job at TCS
this past week. My daughter is a rising 6th grader and had such an
incredible time. She has never been one to enjoy athletics so we
were a bit skeptical about putting her in this camp. She was excited
everyday after camp and enthusiastic about returning each morning. We
were thrilled for her and thank you and your coaches so much for making
this a fun and enjoyable time. She grew and learned so much in that
short amount of time. We have been so proud of her progress and happy
that she found a sport she enjoys (much to the credit of your
coaches...she loved them)!

My daughter Felisha was at your
High Expectations Camp at JFHS.
It was the best camp she had ever attended. After we left you, she
went to James Madison University for a hitter camp, then to Va Tech for
their Specialty Camp and a team skills camp. None compared to the
fundamentals that you instilled in her. She grew from the things
you guys taught her. And she got the hitter position on her school
team that she tried out for against against a lot of talented girls, and
is a hitter on her varsity team. We couldn't have done it w/o you!

"Thank
you for providing a great experience for my girls. Lucia was pretty
much sure she wasn't playing this year. I insisted she go to camp
before she made her final decision, and she's now turned around and
looking forward to playing. Thanks for your encouragement & taking
time to make her feel like a worthwhile part of the team. She has
nothing but good things to say about you."

"Last week
was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about this coming season,
because my coach wanted me to play a new position I wasn't used to,
but now I feel totally ready for the coming school season! I'm so
grateful for you and all the coaches for pushing me to learn and
prepare myself. I'll keep you and all the coaches in mind this year
every game! Thank you!"

"While watching
Coach Houser's practices they reminded me of the purpose and
intensity that we saw during the Regional High Performance camps my
daughter
has attended. Every drill is well planned out and executed. Each has
a purpose, and builds on what was learned in earlier sessions. The
players are encouraged to play the game with passion along with
strategy. "

whole summer! Thanks again!"
