Volleyball Camps

Legacy Sports Academy will be offering full day and half day volleyball camps starting in spring 2021 for boys and girls of all levels ages 8-18. LSA's volleyball camps are great for all skills and levels and develops the WHOLE ATHLETE (physical ability & skills, mental toughness, focus, self regulation, awareness and connection.) Our coaches have years of experience working with the youth as teachers, counselors and school administrators, so they are skilled at teaching the mental part of the game in age appropriate activities. We use the same methodologies employed by Division 1 Universities and professionals to give athletes a strong foundation in volleyball.  Boys and girls are grouped by age and ability where coaches will model proper technique and players will participate in various drills to practice those techniques.  Drills are designed to give players an abundance of reps in game like situations.

Our high school coach, elementary teacher, and former Division 1 Collegiate player, Taneisha Tilque, provides quality volleyball instruction with an emphasis on ball control to provide all players a positive experience. Skills are broken down and build on each other during each drill.  Campers taken through a series of repeated repetitions to encourage muscle memory. Court awareness and position responsibility is taught to improve volleyball IQ.  Local high school players will support athletes as assistant coaches and share their experiences as volleyball players. Each camper will be given a player evaluation at the end of camp so they can keep improving their skills.

​

Tacoma School's counselor, Gina Coheley, takes our players through a series of mindful exercises to help focus and strengthen mental awareness. Campers will learn about MINDFULNESS practices, IDENTIFYING their bodies' physical reactions to stress, learning how to COPE with "positive" & "negative" life stressors, learning how to set INTENTIONS and becoming aware of the ENERGY that we bring to the room/court/field! Players will learn the importance of positive thinking, how to make connections with others, to provide positive mental coaching for life and perseverance on the court. Campers will set intentions each day, learn how to take their bodies through progressive muscle relaxation, goal setting, and realize the power of positive thinking. Campers will have time to practice and reflect on these skills and will be used through each volleyball drill and game. These skills are often not taught to athletes but are so valuable for athletic and personal growth.  Your child will use these skills in sports, school, and life.
