Thank you again for putting on such a great VB Camp!!!!  My daughter had a great time and learned alot ! She will send you a e-mail soon but I just wanted to comment on how nice it was for you to come into the stands and speak to the parents...that impressed me and it shows you care.  Also the college info was SO helpful for the girls. My daughter says she will get a folder to keep all her notes in and can add to it when she gathers more info. You put together some awesome coaches and my daughter liked her Coach Badillo from Peace College very much.

July 6, 2011
This year's High Expectations is awesome!  You brought a great staff this year!  All of the coaches really want the campers to improve to their potential.  

July 12, 2011
High Expectations was an incredible experience for my daughter. She had an opportunity to learn so much from numerous college coaches. I was particularly impressed with the classroom education provided about college volleyball opportunities. My husband had a great conversation with her following camp pertaining to exercise. He later commented to me that she had been introduced to topics in your camp that he had studied in college!!  You are blessed with a unique talent of blending volleyball skills, education, and FUN to create the perfect cocktail! She is all ready looking forward to attending HE (and possibly ME) next year.

July 14, 2011
Hey coach, I did not get to say thank you so so much for the great great camp. It meant a lot to me! It has motivated me to be the best I can be! The camp was the first volleyball camp I have attended and it was great!  Thanks again so much!
