I am a big Tom
Houser fan and I couldn't think of a better fit for our girls at this
stage of their development.
Will Greene, host of the Virginia Episcopal School STAR camp in
2010.
~~~~~~~~~
One of the main
things I am so proud of is the way my girls played as a TEAM, and I want
to thank you for starting that with us at camp this summer. That
made a huge difference this year.
Whitney Dove, host of the Riverheads STAR camp in
2009.
~~~~~~~~~
"Thank you again for such a wonderful camp. You are one in a
million."
Amy Amerell, mother of a
2008 High Expectations

Thank you so much for your love for these girls. And for your hard
work.
Nikki Parkinson, host of the Red Lion Christian Camp in
2008
and 2009
~~~~~~~~~
"We loved having
you all here this week. I know the girls learned tons and are very
grateful. I also learned quite a bit and want to thank you all for,
not only the skills lessons, but all the talk about TEAM. I know the
girls that came to the camp will help me with that. I will
definitely keep in touch throughout the season & I know we would
love to have you come back next year."
Whitney Dove, head coach at Riverheads High in Staunton, VA, STAR
host in 2009

"I wanted to let
you know that I received good news this week! I will be the head
coach for Timberlake's varsity volleyball team again this year. I finally
got the approval this week. I can't wait to put into practice some
of the things I have learned at your camps the last two years."
Barry Kane Head Vball Coach, Timberlake Christian, STAR host coach in
2007
, 2009
and 2010. Forest, Va
~~~~~~~~~
"I know you hear this alot, but you are an awesome coach! Your email after the
tournament made my daughter's day! You can use my words
because I would tell anyone! I manage a large company and I know
great leadership when I see it. Thanks again for staying close to
your players."
James Mercadante, father of Kelsey, STAR Camper 2005 - 2008
~~~~~~~~~
"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
and 2010. ~~~~~~~~~
"EVERYONE I talk
to, including my A. D., was extremely positive about you, your
coaches & the camp. I haven't heard one negative yet. And
that's a great thing "

"You can go to a big university
camp and spend $500 and just play a bunch a games. To get
the kind of instruction that STAR camps give your players is
a total bargain."
Jim Barber Head Coach, Westover Christian School, Host of

My daughter Felisha was at your
High Expectations Camp at JFHS.
It was the best camp she had ever attended. After we left you, she
went to James Madison University for a hitter camp, then to Va Tech for
their Specialty Camp and a team skills camp. None compared to the
fundamentals that you instilled in her. She grew from the things
you guys taught her. And she got the hitter position on her school
team that she tried out for against against a lot of talented girls, and
is a hitter on her varsity team. We couldn't have done it w/o you!
Mellanie Kello, of New Kent, Virginia.

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.

Emails That
I Received After the 2009
Timberlake Camp! |
Coach Kane,
Victoria had such a fantastic time this week! We were so
impressed with the quality of the coaching and just the
entire program as a whole. Victoria learned more in 4 days
than in an entire season of school volleyball, and she
thoroughly enjoyed the coaching staff and the other players.
She would happily attend another week if it was available!
We hope you will offer this again next summer - or even over
the winter break if possible! This week has really been a
great reinforcement of Victoria's love of the sport!
If I wasn't working, I would drive Victoria to Roanoke for
Coach Houser's camp next week!
Regards, Lauren Varah |
Coach Houser! The
volleyball camp this week was probably the best volleyball
camp I have ever been to! Thank you for giving me
advice on my serve! I will definitely be serving bombs
in the upcoming volleyball season! Hope you come back
to Timberlake next year!
Holly Kane |

Thank
you for providing a great experience for my girls. Lucia was pretty
much sure she wasn't playing this year. I insisted she go to camp
before she made her final decision, and she's now turned around and
looking forward to playing. Thanks for your encouragement & taking
time to make her feel like a worthwhile part of the team. She has
nothing but good things to say about you.
Missy Cadori, mother of two St Marys
2009 campers.

"Last week
was absolutely amazing! I was so nervous about this coming season,
because my coach wanted me to play a new position I wasn't used to,
but now I feel totally ready for the coming school season! I'm so
grateful for you and all the coaches for pushing me to learn and
prepare myself. I'll keep you and all the coaches in mind this year
every game! Thank you!"
Sandy Serio, camper at the
EC Glass High Expectations Camp,
June 2009

"We
played in the round robin last Friday. It was so cool to see
how far we've come! The parents were so impressed with the
girls' progress. The credit goes to you!"
Penni Douglas, host of
a
2007 Camp at Oconee Christian
Seneca, SC
~~~~~~~~~
"While watching
Coach Houser's practices they reminded me of the purpose and
intensity that we saw during the Regional High Performance camps my
daughter
has attended. Every drill is well planned out and executed. Each has
a purpose, and builds on what was learned in earlier sessions. The
players are encouraged to play the game with passion along with
strategy. "
Dorothy McIntyre, mother of a member of my
2009 Junior Vball Team that
qualified for
Nationals.

I just wanted to thank you for letting me help out with the camp
again this year. It was awesome seeing you guys and it was great
working with the kids and not only teaching them, but also learning
about them too. I plan on coming back again next year and help you
guys out! I love being apart of the Coach Houser camp - it makes my
whole summer! Thanks again!
Lori Bryant, Red Lion Christian Academy camper in

Thanks for sending such great coaches to help us out. It is
too far out but I think I want to have them back next year.
The money we spent was money well spent. Thanks again for
making it possible.

great job you and your coaches did, I could not ask for better."
