Q. How many participants do you generally allow for each camp? (I know it's 8:1 ratio but what is the total limit) Also, who is actually teaching the camps (Regis students or actual coaches)? What meals are provided? (breakfast, lunch & dinner?)
Our Skills camp max out at 100. Our Total Player max is 108. Our Elite camp max is 60. Our Position camp is 100. Our coaches come from local high school, colleges and clubs. We have college volleyball athletes assting these coaches. During an overnight camp we provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner unless you choose to bring your own food.

Q. Do you recommend the Elite camp for incoming freshman that are currently playing club level VB?
Our Elite camp generally consists of 36% Seniors, 32% Juniors, 16% Sophomores, 10% Freshman. There are very high expectations of the campers. The camp is very physically demanding as well. It is geared for athletes wanting to experience what college volleyball would be like. If a freshman is up for a challenge and has great volleyball skills then it would be a great way to be pushed.

Q. Hello, Is the skills camp a good choice for my daughter? She is
entering the 10th grade and has played club ball for two years, but has
spent a lot of time on the bench this current year. She hopes to try out for Grandview's sophomore team this year
Skills camp would be great. The Total Player camp would be fine as well; it’s a lot longer day and more physically demanding.

Q. Hi. I am coming to the Position camp this summer, but sometimes I get homesick. I went to the CU camp last year, and parents were allowed to come watch for a little bit if they wanted. I was wondering if this is allowed here, too. Or can they come see m
Parents are welcome to come watch camp at any time. We have a balcony that they can stand and watch their son or daughter participate in camp. We ask that parents not approach the coaches or interrupt demonstrations and skills work though.

Q. I am interested in signing up for the total player camp for my 12 yr old daughter. She wants to do the overnight camp. What are the accomdations/supervision for this age group. I assume they will be housed in the dorm?
Thank you.
If a camper stays overnight they are housed on campus in the dorms. Rooms are assigned first by roomate preference then rooms are located near similar aged girls. Our camp staff stays in the dorms as well.

Q. My daughter is a sophmore who last played in middle school and wants to attend position camp. She's talking about setter? Will this be beneficial for her?
Any camp and competition is good if she hasn't played since middle school. Position Camp would be critically important to attend if she wants to be prepared for a setting role because of its skill demands. I would encourage her to do multiple camps if she is seriously looking to jump back into it.

Q. What type of activities will the girls be able to do in the evening? My daughter will be attending total player camp and staying overnight in the dorms. Also, do the coaches supervise the girls in the evening as well?
Total Player camp is done at 9pm. The girls will go to their dorm rooms and shower and are required to be in their room at 10:30pm with doors closed and lights out at 11pm. We have various activities in that hour and half, from 9-10:30 such as a talent show or dance competitions or videos. Many members of the coaching staff also stay in the dorms to monitor the campers. -JOEL

Q. For the overnight camps , do you put the children in a group for the dorms or two people in each dorm? Also, are the bathrooms in the dorms or in a different area?
The campers stay overnight in our university's Residence Halls. Our Hall will be a traditional dorm floor with individual rooms (2 campers per room) and a bathroom/showers at the end of the hallway or on the same floor. The floors will be isolated by gender (all girls) and chaperoned by camp staff. We pair up campers per room by request and then by age. We look forward to hosting your daughter at camp!

Q. My daughter is a 7th grader and has played gold crown for the last three years and plays through the rec center. Since adams 12 has now pulled athletics for next year she won't be able to play for her middle school and i want her to have the right skills
It sounds like she could benefit from either camp you mention as well as the Skills Camp. The Position Camp is more specific by position (she would sign up as a defender?) whereas the Total Player Camp does skill training and splits the time with team play. It is a definite need if middle school sports have been dropped! I share the belief of solid fundamentals at an early age. -Frank Lavrisha Camp Director

Q. My daughter is going into 8th grade and has played rec ball for the last 3 years. Her coach is very competitive and has taught them alot of skills, positions, 5/1 rotation, overhand serves, etc... will the skills camp be beneficial for her to get to tha
Erin, The Skills Camp serves campers from a variety of experiences, skill levels, and athletic ability. We separate the campers, first by age and then by their overall ability, so they have similar attributes and we can do a better job of teaching. The coaching staff is experienced and energetic. We have 2 coaches per group, 1 lead coach and a younger coach who can model skills and relate to the campers. We emphasize skill training and how these skills are incorporated into playing the two phases of the game: serve and pass (serve receive offense) and transition (block/dig and counterattack). We expect the campers to put forth great effort and our aim is to get them excited about the sport of volleyball while teaching them skills. -Frank Lavrisha Camp Director

Q. My daughter played on her 8th grade school team last year and is planning on trying out for the High School team this coming fall. She has never been assigned a position, would she benefit from your Position camp? Is the purpose to exposed the players to
Here is my take on your daughter's situation: We put those unsure of their position in the Outside Hitter group as they are all around players since they receive serve, play defense, hit, serve, block, and set a bit on the right side. The focus of the Position Camp is on developing skills. If the camper is open to coaching, works hard, and wants to improve, then she will benefit. All the best to you and your daughter! -Coach Frank

Q. Where on the website can I find the list of what my daughter needs to bring and the directions of how to get to the building where we are to check in?
You should have gotten a reply confirmation to the email you used during registration. If not, you'd be able to find the field house under Facilities page. www.regis.edu/content/loc/flash/campusmap.htm This link will show you a map of where the field house is. Overnight check in is in O'Connell Hall. Bring linens and pillow. Rooms have refrigerators. Also bring, water bottle.

Q. My daughter is attending the Total Player Camp and will be staying overnight. I see the daily schedule goes from 9-4, but I also read somewhere that the day is over at 9pm. What is scheduled between 4pm and 9pm? Is it just free time and dinner? Thanks!
The Total Player Camp daily schedule is 8:30am to 9:00pm. The exceptions are for Registration on Monday, the first day of camp, which is at 9:00am. Also, we finish camp on Thursday, the last day of camp, at 4:30pm. We have court sessions in the morning, afternoon, and evening along with special classroom sessions on nutrition, strength training, rehab, and sports psychology. The campers will compete, using their improved skills, most of Thursday. With the court time, special sessions, and meals, there is very little 'free time'. Too much to do! -Camp Director
