USA Volleyball : High Performance

USA Volleyball Girls’ Youth – 2008 Development A2 Camps Invitees

Congratulations! You have been selected to the 2008 USA Volleyball Girls’ Youth – Development A2 (DA2) Camp.

USA Volleyball has entered into an affiliation with American Athlete, Inc. for the administration and execution of the Development A2 camps. American Athlete is a company devoted to quality volleyball camps and clinics throughout the United States. USA Volleyball High Performance works closely with American Athlete to ensure structure and programming is consistent for all High Performance camps.

The Girls’ HP DA2 program is a very important step in our USA Pipeline. It serves a number of important purposes:

It brings top coaches to players in a concentrated training environment that promotes learning and skill acquisition.
The selected nature of the program ensures similar skill levels, allowing the players to progress, and the camp to move forward.
It allows players to demonstrate their ability to learn and improve within a short training period (this is a very important ability for HP and collegiate programs).
It provides participants with a standard and measure of how they need to improve, and where they need to get to, to progress to the next level.
Coach to athlete ratio is 1:8.
