"Thank you again for such an amazing experience!
This week was fantastic and I'm looking forward to you guys coming back!"
Head coach Tara UzzeIl


June 18
"
They loved you, and all of your coaches. They had a wonderful time!"
From a camper's parent.


June 19
"I would like to say thank you for a running an excellent volleyball camp. My daughter learned so much and enjoyed her time as well. Volleyball is her passion. You and your staff gave her confidence and praise that will help her keep fire lit.
I found her notes from camp this morning and I had to smile. These same things are what I tell her, but these words make more of an impact if someone else says it other than her mom!!"


June 19
"My daughter had fun and is trying to put all the instructions together. :-) She was excited to meet the former Ferrum volleyball coach. It was great to see her on your staff. We love Maribeth, of course! I am glad her team won the tournament too! You did a great job coaching and helping the players see what to correct. "
