Hey Coach Houser:
Just wanted to let you know that i really enjoyed this year's camp. It was the best one i've been too yet! I had so much fun. I really can't wait til next year. I really liked the covering drills and the tournament we played. :)  Thanks for a great time. I'm really looking forward to this upcoming season and for next year's camp.

My daughter absolutely loved Coach Lori. We sincerely do thank you for the opportunity for growth and making new friends.

coach houser:  i had so much fun coaching all the rookie campers! i encouraged them but they also encouraged me! it's amazing how a team works! this camp was awesome! i was so impressed with all of the players! they really are great girls!  coaching is awesome!, having fun, and just everything! Jessie Kane

[My daughter] loved the camp.  First volleyball camp ever. She had a lot of fun, She was concerned about not knowing anyone, but she soon made friends. Really liked the coaches. As a parent, I thought your speeches about teamwork, respect, and boys were a great idea. We both wish the camp was for 5 days.

[My daughter] told me it was stressed about how important it is to respect your coaches and teammates; she said that the topic of boys came up and I think she mentioned how they can be a "distraction" (thank you for that).  I can't stress what a wonderful time she had. She attended camps before, but this was by far her favorite. Your camp has really reinforced what we try to teach her at home, it's nice to be a good athlete and student, etc., but it is more important to be a good person.

I would like to thank you for running such a fun and instructive camp. My daughter does not attend Red Lion, nor did she know anyone in attendance at the camp, and for a tweener that can be problematic. She was eager to attend the camp following the first day and that is a great testimonial.   Kudos to your staff and the nice girls in attendance.

I want to thank you and your staff for providing [my daughter] with a wonderful experience. She came home, not talking about volleyball (well, some), but sharing "life lessons" she was taught. I was so impressed with your camp, it was nice to see that character comes first. These lessons will carry with her the rest of her life, through volleyball, school, work, etc. I can't thank you enough.

Thanks so much for another amazing camp experience for our daughter!! She loved the camp as much as ever.

Thanks for all your work with the girls last week. My daughter has never done a sports camp before, and she had a blast--even with the sore muscles! Your assistants were great, especially Sammy.  My daughter's is talking about her a lot.
