Want to see what dates are available
for the summer of 2009?  It's  here!!

I received this email from John Kessel, USA Volleyball
[When someone asked for help] I thought of you. So when this guy wanted to start a program for boys and said Virginia, Tom Houser's name came to my head.  My focus is on working with coaches who are positive and get it, and you have always been one who does get it.

 If I can commute each day to your camp site,
* the cost will be $6 per hour per camper;
* $250 nonrefundable down payment due before I will add your camp to my website;
* a $2000 minimum total payment.

If your camp is not within commuting distance (but is drivable):
* the cost will be $7 per hour per camper (the extra is for the coaches' expenses);
* $250 nonrefundable down payment due before I will add your camp to my website;
* a $2000 minimum total payment, and;
* The host coach will also be responsible for reserving & paying for two hotel rooms (we'll need high speed wireless internet).

If my staff & I have to fly:
*  the cost will be $7 per hour per camper (that will take care of the coaches' expenses)
* with the same $250 nonrefundable down payment due one month in advance;
* a $2000 minimum total payment, and;
*  the host coach will also be responsible for purchasing the plane tickets, reserving & paying for two hotel rooms (we'll need high speed wireless internet), and providing transportation.

For coaches who have never hosted a STAR camp before:
I will take your 2009 reservation for any week unrenewed
by the 2008 hosts after Jan 1st!! 
So get that deposit to me sometime in December!
It's first receive, first reserved!

ADDED BONUS!!

Each STAR Camp host receives a complimentary copy of Coach Houser's Two "I Can't Wait" Ebooks And Drill Collection

I received this after the Jefferson Forest camp in June of 2007.

Dear Coach Houser:
I just really want to thank you for camp this week. This week has been so much FUN and I learned A LOT! The drills were sometimes difficult, but definitely important and I was glad we all made it through them. Even though I am really sore, I am so glad I came to camp. You inspired us all with your speeches and we will take your words to heart and hopefully not only change ourselves but our team. Your attitude speeches really helped me, because if our team starts losing I usually start giving up and I know I will no longer do that, but keep my head up, cheer on my team, and get through that game no matter how poorly we do. After all, the team comes first, words you spoke. Your camp made me such a better player and person in such a short time, if I had to do it on my own, it would have taken me four or five times as long. I really hope u continue to do this camp for very LONG, LONG, time, because not only will I miss out on the years to come my team mates would too and that would be a lot to lose. I want to encourage you to continue with being such a great coach even if some of us do mess up in the future which I know you will bust us for, but not out of anger, because you care so much, more than many other coaches. Once I got there I was pumped, excited, and ready to get out on the court and makes some great plays, cheer, and have fun. Unfortunately today when it was time to go and I was thanking all the assistant coaches I was so sad, because I knew that camp was over and won't be back until next year. But I am looking so forward to next year, and I and the other players will be twice as good as before so look out because Jefferson Forest Volleyball is back!
