YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University Head Volleyball Coach Darcy Dorton has announced the 2020 summer camp schedule. Dorton and her staff will offer eight different camps from May through July for both boys and girls, including specialized setting, ball control, and hitting camps.
Eastern Michigan University camps and clinics are open to any and all entrants (limited only by number, age, and/or grade).
"We are excited to release this summer's camp schedule and invite kids to Eastern for a glimpse into our program, " said Dorton. " Camp attendees should expect an environment similar to what you would experience in our practice gym; intense and fast-paced drills and feedback designed to help players improve skills while understanding the game at a higher level. We want to help kids increase their volleyball IQ, showcase their skills, and have fun representing the Block E."
The prospect camps are designed specifically to train all skills of passing, setting, attacking, and defensive play. Participants will be challenged to learn new techniques to improve their fundamentals, as well as compete against other campers in a tournament style format.
