PRIVATE GROUP LESSONS
We expect that you will learn a lot from the regular sessions from our camp. But we also want to take time to cater to those athletes who would prefer an in-depth analysis. We will be holding private/group lessons per the schedule below. Sign ups are on a first come first serve basis. We can offer additional private/group lessons if the schedule becomes full. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions about the content of what is covered in the lesson (see "Contact Us").
Private Group Lesson Options
We offer the following lessons:
Private Group Lesson Format
Group lessons are limited to a maximum of 4 athletes. We will begin by taking video of the athletes performing the pre-defined volleyball skill. Each athlete will then receive a private consultation with the Spike Frog coach to review their video and receive feedback of what is being done well and areas for improvement. The athletes will then be taken through a series of specific drills to emphasize the learning points and solidify the athlete's learning. Lessons last 1 hour for a group of 4 athletes and cost $35 per person per session. Athletes can register for their lesson during camp registration online (see "Register Now") or inquire the day of the camp for openings. Feel free to Contact Us with any of your questions.
Private Group Lesson Schedule
We will be offering lessons prior to the beginning of the camp each day and at the conclusion of the camp each day. As athletes RSVP for their desired lesson(s) we will group athletes together and determine the best timing. If you have scheduling conflicts, please let us know so that we can schedule accordingly.
PLAYER PAGE
We know that you have lots of goals and perhaps some of them are volleyball related.
1) Maximizing the number of friends on FaceBook
2) Improving your cell phone texting speed
Oh wait, we said volleyball related...
1) Impressing your family, friends or coach with your mad volleyball skills
2) Leading your team to post season play
3) Earning a college athletic scholarship
We are here to help you attain those volleyball goals. Our goal is to balance the right amount of learning, hustle and fun all within our Spike Frog Volleyball camp. Our camp is very personal and often on a first name basis. We are interested in building relationships with those whom we coach and watching them progress through their volleyball career.

Day 1 Of Camp
On day 1 of camp, be sure to show up a few minutes early to check in and get warmed up. Come prepared just like a normal school volleyball practice (athletic clothes, gym shoes, etc). Spike Frog Camps do not provide any meals so be sure to eat a good breakfast before you arrive, bring some snacks/drinks to power you through the breaks and also bring a lunch that you can eat during the lunch break. Besides that, be ready to learn and have a lot of fun improving your game.
PARENTS PAGE
We look forward to working with your athlete during our camp. Please feel free to reach out to us at any time with questions you might have (see "Contact Us"). Spike Frog Camps do not provide any meals during the camp, so be sure to send your athlete off with a good breakfast, a sack lunch and maybe some snacks to power them through the day.
We expect that your athlete will learn a lot during our camp. However, we have had many parents explain that their athlete would benefit from private instruction as well. In order to accommodate every athlete's learning style, we offer private group instruction. See the "Private Group Lesson" page for details.
Parents and Coaches have also asked us to provide an instructional seminar in regards to college scholarship opportunities. We offer a 1 hour private group seminar at the end of the camp for parents, coaches and athletes. We will spend the first half of the seminar explaining the opportunities available to athletes with a desire to play beyond their High School experience and explaining the steps needed to take in order to get your name on your desired college's recruiting radar screen. The remainder of the seminar will be a Question and Answer session. This private group seminar will last approximately 1 hour and begin at 12:30pm on the last day of the camp. Participation in this seminar is offered at only $25 a family. Turning $25 into free college tuition is great investment!
Looking for volleyball gear? Order it from The Pancake Nut and have it delivered at the camp (read: Free Shipping!).
COACHES PAGE
We look forward to meeting and working with you. Typically you aid us in local logistics (reserving the gym, opening the gym, ensuring the volleyball equipment will be available, etc). In regards to your participation in the camp, you are welcome to be as "hands on" or "hands off" as you please. We have no requirements of you.
We can also supply you with fliers that you can distribute to your players or get posted in the school bulletin to help ensure that word gets out about the camp date and times.
We like to make ourselves available to team coaches during the lunch break to talk about how the camp is going. We encourage coaches to talk through their proposed starting rotations for the next year. We find that we are often able to make value-add suggestions that the coaches can implement. Please do not hesitate to ask us questions, we want to be a resource for you.
Are you a stats person? Spike Frog can teach you our method for keeping stats during your practices in such a way that the stats can promote a competition environment among the athletes. These are not tradition stats like kills, aces, digs, etc. These stats are more of a ranking method which make the practices more "game like" and "competitive" thru keeping track of wins and losses in a variety of drills. We can explain to you the process and then demonstrate the process during the last day of camp.
