Kamehameha volleyball camp in June

Kamehameha volleyball camp in June

The Kamehameha-Hawaii volleyball team is hosting an “All Day, All Night, All Volleyball” boys and girls camp at Koaia Gym in Keaau.

The sleep-over camp for high school students will be held June 1-5, with registration starting at 3 p.m. June 1. The head clinician will be coach Guy Enriques and the cost is $145, which includes all meals.

A camp for students completing grades 2-8 will be held 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. June 2-5 at a cost of $100. Early check-in begins at 8 a.m

According to a release, the major focus for day campers is the development of basic volleyball skills (communication, ball control, teamwork), and the camp will include mini-games and tournaments. Having fun and developing a passion for the game is the overall goal. For high school players, the emphasis is on advanced skill development through competitive drills, coaching techniques, and game-like competition. Communication and teamwork are a major focus.

Brochures/registration forms are available at the Kamehameha athletic department or Sportsline.
