The girls at the first camp finished their last night off in the pool after camp was over for the night on Wednesday! I was on "pool duty" with the rest of the team until about 10 pm. I thought those girls would be worn out from long, 12-hour days, but they were still squealing and having fun in the pool for an hour or so!
We finished up Intermediate Camp on Thursday afternoon, and Advanced Camp started today (Friday). There were about 170 girls in the first camp, and now there are about 205 girls in this second camp! Advanced camp is one day shorter - only going from Friday to Sunday - so this one goes by REALLY fast, which is nice! After the first day, I can already tell these girls are a little more advanced and experienced with their volleyball skills, which will also be nice and refreshing to have! Pictured below is a picture of our team in our locker room before we went to scrimmage during one of our breaks :)
For Advanced Camp, we pretty much do the same thing... But just condensed into one less day. This ends up working out okay though because the girls tend to have a little bit more experience and background of volleyball, like I said. Pictured below is a post on Instagram from our SMSU Volleyball page of some of our players performing a passing demo for all the campers. We usually always do demos as a big group before we break out onto separate courts for skills sessions. Tomorrow, the girls will get divided into their positions and then placed with a coach on a team depending on their skill level and they will start playing with those teams the rest of camp!
I remember when I went to camp, it was so much fun. They will have great memories from all of the fun that they are having.
