Campers that register online have the option of buying cancelation protection, which allows for a full refund up until the day before camp if they are unable to attend for any reason. This feature is only available with online registration.
Lil’ Volley Topper Camp is for campers entering kindergarten through sixth grade. The camp, which will be held June 4-6, will run from 9 a.m. – noon CT, daily and will cost $100 per player. An afternoon care option has been added that allows for campers to stay for the remainder of the work day (noon – 5:30 p.m.) under the supervision of the WKU volleyball players. A variety of afternoon activities include watching movies, playing games and more volleyball. The cost to attend camp and afternoon care is $200 per camper. The Lil’ Volley Topper Camp is designed for beginners and will introduce campers to fundamental areas of the game in a fun and exciting environment. Campers will work with coaches and players and will be divided into appropriate age groups.
The Lady Topper All Skills Camp will be held June 11-13 and is for campers entering grades 7-12. The camp, which costs $215 per player, will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT, each day. This camp is designed to offer campers a solid skill foundation in all areas of the game. Fundamental instruction will be provided for passing, setting, serving, hitting and blocking. The camp will also include team and game situations and will cater to all skill level while placing each camper in a group based on their level of skill.
The Lady Topper Elite Camp is also June 11-13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT, and is designed for players entering grades 9-12. At a cost of $215, the camp is for high school players with at least three years of playing experience and/or players with travel team experience. Elite camp will cover all volleyball fundamentals as well as game situations, but at a more challenging level. Though it is the same dates and times as the All Skills Camp, campers will be grouped separately.
The Lady Topper Team Camp will be run from July 11-13 and will cost $190 per player while running from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. CT. This camp will allow each team to learn, grow and improve before the start of their new season. Day one of the team camp will be composed entirely of skill instruction, covering all volleyball fundamentals while days two and three will mostly include tournament play. Each team must have a coach/supervisor with them at all times throughout the camp while consisting of a minimum of eight players per team.
