"Great job today. I think the kids worked really hard. My girls
love you."
Jim Barber,
head coach of Westover Christian, in Danville, Va, host of 12 STAR
camps.
~~~~~~~~~
“Your camps were my favorite to come to when I was in high school!
I liked the USAV camp in Wisconsin because I got to see family, but
volleyball-wise, you top them all!”
Kim Amerell, named conference
freshman of the year at Pfeiffer University after her 2010 season.
~~~~~~~~~
Thank you both for always hosting such wonderful camps for the
girls. Daphne looks forward to these every year!
Tamara Allen, mother of Daphne, 4-time STAR camper.
~~~~~~~~~
Thank you
again for having the camps for the girls ! It really shows how
much you are in this sport-such enthusiasm..it's great to see!

“A good product at a good price is easy to sell.”
Jim Barber,
head coach of Westover Christian, in Danville, Va and host of STAR
camps in
06,
07,
08,
and 11,
and in six previous years!
~~~~~~~~~
"What I liked about your camp....... so many things....the positive energy was just
electric and contagious. My girls are so pumped and excited for
the season and it has revved me up a notch. Your feedback is delivered
in a sincere manner, whether praise or correction, it is delivered and
received with respect.
This was a week of holistic volleyball, how to be a better player
through skill, team work, sweat and dedication. They are looking forward
to next year's camp!"
Maria Rushbrooke, head coach of Roanoke Catholic, host of a
2008,
2009,
2010
and a 2011 STAR camp.
~~~~~~~~~
"Coach Houser:
I know you're probably still in the van on your way home, but I just
wanted to tell you how thrilled I was with your camp. Your staff was
heartfelt, knowledgeable and willing to work with all of my athletes.
You did a tremendous job and I appreciated all your hard work. I'm
soooooooo excited for my upcoming season. I know that your camp will
have a positive influence on our season. Take care and enjoy the rest of
your summer!!"
Fawn McMakin, head coach of St Marys Area High School, St Marys, PA, and
host of a 2008 STAR camp.
~~~~~~~~~
"[My daughter] still talks about you: "Coach Houser would never stand
for that"... "Coach Houser would yank her out in a minute for not giving
110%"..."if she tried to act like that on Coach Houser's team, he would
cut her out like a cancer!"... You once mentioned a poor attitude by
players on a team being like a cancer... you heal it or cut it out!
She has not forgotten that. You have set the bar high and it makes it
difficult to accept less or to comprehend coaches who accept less! You
do make a lasting impression on the girls who pass through your camps."
Suzie Helbert, former head coach, Stanleytown Baptist Academy and host
of a 2005 STAR camp!
~~~~~~~~~
I just finished the first day of tryouts for TCS - they looked good
- many KUDOS to you and your staff - I don't have to spend the first
week doing platform and spike approach! I look forward to a great
season.
Barry Kane
Head Vball Coach, Timberlake Christian, STAR host coach in
2007,
2009
2010
2011
and 2012, Forest, Va
~~~~~~~~~
"I know your camp
helped one of my players with some self-concept issues because she did
not get much playing time last year, but this year she knows she needs
to step it up for the team. I think the "captain of the day" was a good
boost for the players."
Barry Kane
Head Vball Coach, Timberlake Christian, STAR host coach in
2007,
2009
2010
2011
and 2012, Forest, Va
~~~~~~~~~
Bottom line…Coach Houser STAR VB CAMP… 15 eager to learn volleyball
players…14 hours of expert volleyball instruction….potential for a
winning season …. PRICELESS!!!!
And thank you for the great
website!!
Penni Douglas, host of a
2007 Camp at Oconee Christian
Seneca, SC
~~~~~~
I thought
everything was great. I could not have asked for anything different.
The comments were nothing but positive about you and your staff. The
greatest compliment is that people learned that volleyball is a TEAM
game, not an individual sport.
Fawn McMakin, head coach of St Marys Area High School, St Marys, PA, and
host of a 2008 STAR camp. |

Information For
Camp Hosts
When you schedule a STAR camp
for 2013, YOU are in control!
You make the critical decisions that are in the best interests of
your team.
You decide the number of days;
You decide the number of hours;
Then, my coaches & I will do the rest!!
We will come to your school. This should promote attendance!
The assistant coaches will have extensive vball experience,
and will be outstanding role models. The parents will love
that!
I will create all the handouts, take care of the warmups and
stretching,
and plan the activities each day.
But many believe that the best thing about our STAR camps is:
The
cost is up to
60% less
than the residential camps your players will be considering,
and up to
40% less
than the national site camps that you may be considering!
And for the 7th year in a row: The price hasn't changed!
The Camp Is Made For Your Players!
We do not have an online camp outline. Why?
It's because you
& I will confer each day to ensure your kids receive
the
instruction that will help improve their performance on YOUR
team!!
Player To Coach Ratio! Let's Talk!
The typical player to coach ratio is 6:1.
I saw a website
recently proclaiming excitement that their ratio is 10:1.
And some coaches can't wait to tell you about their 9:1.
But there has never been a STAR camp where the ratio was that high.
At
the 2012 Dan River
camp, there were 6 coaches for 32 campers.
At
the 2012
High Expectations at Virginia Episcopal, there were 9
coaches for 32 campers.
Your players will be engaged, learning, listening and improving.
Fundraise!
A STAR camp can become a nice fundraiser for your team!
Let me tell you how!
The Staff!
The STAR staff is a mixture of experienced head coaches,
and young & excited college & high school female players.
I guarantee that STAR coaches are role models who you can trust
to be around your players,
and are outstanding citizens who can
confidently tell your players
right from wrong.
Every STAR coach is excited to teach your players the game.
I am just as picky about who influences your players as you are.
National Coaching Experience!
In just the past 7 years, we have traveled with our teams and done
site camps at:
Columbus, OH Anchorage,
AK
Baltimore, MD St
Mary's PA
Richmond, VA
Atlanta, GA Clemson, SC
Miami, FL
Bear, DE
Washington D.C. Asheville, NC
My teams qualified and participated
in the
2006 J.O.
Nationals in Atlanta,
in the
2009 J.O.
Nationals in Miami,
and in the
2012 Junior Nationals in Columbus OH.
I was also at the
2005 J.O. Nationals in Salt Lake City with my
daughter's team.
The
formats for STAR camps are limitless!
We can do a Mon-Fri or Mon-Thurs camp.
Or we can do 2 days, 3 days, a weekend, Thurs through Sun, etc.
We can work with rookies in the morning, veterans in the
afternoon.
Or we can have two sessions per day for vets , with a rookie session in
between.
Maybe you want to reserve one week for your rookies
and
another week for your veterans!
My coaches and I will even do an
in-season
clinic.
What Are A Host's Options For Camps?
How Does a Coach Reserve a Week?
Most coaches prefer the Standard
STAR all-skills camp.
For info about reserving a week for a Standard STAR camp, touch
here.
But some coaches want to offer a High
Expectations STAR Camp!
Info on hosting a High Expectations Camp can be seen
here.
And again in 2013, we are offering a butt-kicking, intense Maximum Expectations Camp. If you're also interested in that, the web page is here!
Together We Can Do Anything For Your Team!
A STAR camp can last 3 hours a day or 8 hours a day,
we can teach new offenses &
defenses, quicken your attack, etc.
We can do whatever you
think will make your team better!!
So Why Is The Popularity of
STAR Camps Exploding?
6:1 coach/camper ratio is normal! You choose the format!
Low price! The camp in made to fit your players' needs!
We can help you fundraise! Price freeze for 2012!
Forgot to tell you: We also provide a free website for you camp, and
we offer you and your players free support through the following 12 months!
No volleyball camp in the USA offers all this.
Please glance at what others say to the left and right.
What's stopping you from bringing this to your players?
Let's talk it over!
Together we can do anything!
Contact me at coachhouser@yahoo.com
and let's see what we can do for
your team!!
I'm also on Facebook here.

DECEMBER 1, 2012 has passed....now anyone can reserve a 2013 camp!
On December 1, I started taking reservations for summer 2013 camps from anyone who didn't host a STAR camp in the summer of 2012.
The 2012 hosts had until Dec 1 to tell me if they wanted our staff to return for 2013 and to send me a deposit. If you wish, you can change the week, as long as it was not a week that another 2012 host wanted to keep.
New hosts: Get your $250 deposit to me asap and specify the week(s) that you want to reserve and which
coach you would prefer to host your camp. For new hosts, it's first-come, first-served.

Thank you for this past week at camp. I always love coming to any of
your camps because I always leave a better player and know so much
more about the game and what I want for my future and how to
approach it. You probably hear this all the time, but you are a very
wise coach and absolutely one of the best I personally have ever
met. Thank you again! :)

I wanted to thank you again for the
experience that my daughter gained at the
High Expectations Camp this year.
We have sent her to numerous camps, both in and out of state and
some camps we paid twice as much as this camp. What she gained from
the High
Expectations Camp was so obvious each time she came home.
She would talk about each skill that she worked on that day and when
I quizzed her about how this camp compared to others I would learn
that they never worked with the participants at the others as they
did at your camp. She was excited about explaining the skills and
techniques that she learned form the various coaches and instructors
as well as the friendships experienced. She was the only participant
from the Roanoke area and enjoyed the camaraderie that she found at
this camp. The coach/instructor ratio is also what impressed me with
almost a 4 participants to 1 coach. This by far has been the best
camp we have sent her to and I would recommend it to anyone who is
wanting to increase the skill of their daughter.
Ron Ratcliffe, father of Lauren, c/o '11 at Lord Botetourt High.

We checked out your website and are seriously considering having our
daughter attend one of your summer camps, even though we live in
Michigan.

I would
like to thank you for doing the camp at our school over the summer.
Our volleyball season went good, 3rd place in the district.
I had the best season EVER!! I seriously think it was all because I
went to your camp. I've got some FANTASTIC news! I'm going to
play college ball next year, I signed my letter with the Lady Cavs
earlier this month. THANK YOU AGAIN!!
Kaitlyn Collins, former player at UVa-Wise,
who then became a member of our STAR
Staff!

Boy, you are good!
I love
what you teach and I agree with your approach and philosophies.

January 31, 2008.
[My daughter] will be going to your
high expectation camp this summer. I don't know what you do, but you
do a great job of teaching these girls and they come away with a
great deal of respect for you and knowledge for playing the game.
She was glad that she could go back to one of your camps. I also had
a mass email sent out to all of her Varsity and Jr. teammates for
your other camp dates.
~~~~~~~~~
Let's do a camp or an
in-season
clinic for your kids soon!
Just email me at
coachhouser@yahoo.com and we'll get the planning started.
You can also find me on
Facebook.

My daughter had a great time and enjoyed the plane ride with you guys both as
well. This is her first experience with volleyball and it was very positive.
Thanks for making it a memorable experience for her.
~~~~~~~~~
hey, i miss volleyball soooo much. your coaches made it so fun and
so interesting that I didn't want to leave!! I hope i can come back
next year and improve my volleyball skills. The great thing about the
camp was that I could
hang out with some of my buddies.
~~~~~~~~~
Bella had a great time and is more proud of her flyswatter than any
other thing in her room. She came away with the self-confidence boost
she needed.

Coach Houser:
It's really hot in that gym, but it only makes you wanna work
harder. I'm thinking of you guys when it gets tough!
Thank you, for everything you've ever done for
me and the team.

"Your
philosophies, plans & genuine love for the game & the girls, most of
whom you don't even
know, are inspiring. They are the things that separate you, and I'm
sure your camps, apart from the rest. I know I have probably written
similar things to you before, but keep up the great work!"
Frank Guilfoyle,
host of the Roanoke Catholic camp in
2008, 2009
