Get your volleyball on with with the GDS varsity volleyball team and coaches! Learn the basics of the game or improve upon your existing skills with one of the top volleyball programs in the DMV. Camp is open to rising 5th-8th graders, from beginners to advanced/experienced players. Coach Brandon Wiest and his coaching staff (our varsity players!) strive to bring a positive experience to all campers, while training in a FUN, hard-working environment. We strive to provide a quality volleyball experience for rising 5th-9th graders, grouping campers by experience level on separate courts to ensure they’re working on the skills most appropriate to their skill and experience level. At camp, we will use a combination of individual skill development drills, multi-contact team drills, fun games, and competitive playing sessions to apply each of the learned skills. Our goal is for our campers to leave GDS Volleyball camp having formed lasting friendships, feeling confident in their own abilities, and with an ignited passion for the sport that we all love so much.

No camp on Monday, June 19, 2023. This camp is specifically designed for kids looking for a challenge! For the morning portion of this program, students will learn problem-solving strategies, model and practice sample problems, then have the opportunity to work independently for some time, then come together to collaborate in teams to solve the problems, and finally come together as a whole group to compare and share solutions and convince each other that our answers are correct. For the afternoon portion of this program, students will have lunch and free time outside, as well as participate in fun activities such as art, science experiments, simple cooking, games, etc.
