I'm considering enrolling in the Annapolis Naval Academy's volleyball camp next summer. Has anyone here attended before? How was the experience, and do you think it helped improve your skills?
As someone who has chatted with a handful of students who have attended volleyball camps at military academies, including the one at the Naval Academy, I can give you a bit of an idea on what to expect.
Camps like these are typically highly structured and focus heavily on skill development, teamwork, and discipline. The coaching staff is usually composed of the academy's own coaches and sometimes players, offering top notch instruction and insight into the game at a collegiate level.
Bear in mind, the intensity might be a little higher than what you've experienced at more casual sports camps. The athletes attending are often serious and are looking to improve in a competitive environment.
In terms of skill improvement, it may depend on your current skill level and how much effort you're willing to put into it. But most attendees have reported substantial improvements in both their fundamental and advanced volleyball skills.
In summary, if you are looking for a rigorous training environment that challenges you both physically and mentally, the Annapolis Naval Academy's volleyball camp could be a great fit. But if you're looking for a more laid-back experience, you might want to consider another option.
