2025 MINI-SKILLS CAMPS

The Mini-skills Position Camps are offered to 6th through 12th graders beginning on Monday, June 9th at 1:00 p.m. Each three-hour session will consist of in-depth training on the day's particular skill. It will also consist of game like situations using the skill of that day.

For example, on Monday, June 9th, we will be working on passing only. We will focus on ball control, placement, and serve receive. On Tuesday, June 10th, we will work on serving/setting/overhead passing. Our main focus will be proper footwork, transitioning, and hand positioning. For those hitters who aren't comfortable using their hands, this is very beneficial. On Wednesday, June 11th, all drills will focus on hitting, transitioning, and shot selection. We will discuss all three hitting positions along the net. Finally, on Thursday, June 12th, we will wrap up the skills week with defense. All drills will focus on body positioning, ball control, transitioning, blocking, and of course, defensive attitude!

You can pick one or all of them-the choice is up to you!

Our Goal For The Camps: We combine hard work and fun to bring out the most in every player.  We also make every effort for the camp to be gratifying and worthwhile experience for every player who attends.

Camp Site & Time: The camps will begin on schedule each day.  We will be using the courts in the Shirk Center Arena, Practice gym and activity courts.  We will divide the groups according to skill level to facilitate individual instruction and safety.

What To Bring: Players will need to wear proper athletic shoes.  If kneepads are usually worn, we suggest that you bring those with you also. Since it will be warm, we will do our best to supply water, but we do recommend bringing your own water bottle or any water container that has a lid.

Important Notes About Camp: Each player will receive a t-shirt and a volleyball at the beginning of each camp.  If you enroll by May 1st in more than one camp (the Mini-skills camps are considered one camp, regardless of the number of days you attend), you will receive a pair of volleyball socks instead of a second t-shirt and volleyball.

• To ensure enough counselors per campers and the correct t-shirt size, we do recommend early registration.

Multiple Camps: If your camper will be attending both the morning and afternoon sessions, they are welcome to bring a sack lunch and eat in one of our air-conditioned classrooms or in the gym. We will offer the option to purchase concessions this summer. More information to come as we get closer to camp.

We ask that the campers clean up after themselves. Counselors will be in the building but will not be supervising the campers during this time.

Registration and Payment: To ensure enough counselors per campers and the correct t-shirt size, we do recommend early registration (5/1/25). Early payment is recommended, but if not in full, we do require a $25 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit PER CAMP. The balance is due by May 15th, 2025, or you will lose your spot. NO REFUNDS AFTER 5/15/25. Registration can be done online or mail in the form with payment. Online registration will close on May 25th or when the camp is full.

Camp Assistants: Also, assisting at the KNB Titan Volleyball camps will be current and former IWU and collegiate players, as well as high school and club coaches.
