Looking for a volleyball camp in West Monroe, Monroe, Sterlington, or Ruston where your daughter can learn new skills, build confidence, and have fun on the court? Aultman Volleyball Academy offers volleyball camps and skill-development opportunities for athletes throughout West Monroe, Monroe, Sterlington, Ruston, and Northeast Louisiana year-round.

Our camps are designed for athletes at different ages and skill levels, from beginners who are learning the fundamentals to experienced players looking for additional training and competition. At AVA, we believe a volleyball camp should be about more than spending a few hours in a gym. It should give athletes an opportunity to improve, challenge themselves, make friends, and leave feeling more confident than when they arrived.

Not every athlete walks into camp with the same experience. Some players may be picking up a volleyball for the first time. Others may already participate in recreational volleyball, school volleyball, or club volleyball and want additional repetitions. That's why AVA offers different camp opportunities designed around the athlete's age, experience, and development.

Our camps focus on:

• Volleyball fundamentals
• Passing
• Serving
• Setting
• Hitting
• Defense
• Footwork
• Ball control
• Game situations
• Teamwork
• Volleyball IQ

The goal is to give every athlete something they can take back to the court.

Our Foundational Skills Camps are a great opportunity for younger or developing athletes who want to strengthen their volleyball fundamentals who may be newer to the game. Athletes work on the basic skills they need to become comfortable and confident on the court while learning in an encouraging environment.

Foundational training can help athletes improve:

• Passing technique
• Serving fundamentals
• Hand-eye coordination
• Movement
• Ball control
• Communication
• Teamwork

For athletes who are still developing their foundation, these camps can be a great complement to volleyball classes and recreational leagues.

Athletes who already have volleyball experience may be ready for more challenging instruction. Advanced Volleyball Skills Camps provide opportunities for players to work on more detailed techniques and game situations.

Athletes will work on:

• Advanced passing
• Serving strategy
• Attacking
• Defense
• Position-specific skills
• Game awareness
• Competitive drills
• Volleyball IQ

These camps can be especially beneficial for athletes preparing for school volleyball, club volleyball, or a competitive season.

Getting young athletes involved in volleyball early can help them develop coordination, confidence, and a love for the sport. AVA's younger-age opportunities are designed to introduce athletes to volleyball in a way that is fun and appropriate for their age. Rather than expecting young players to master  volleyball techniques immediately, our coaches focus on movement, coordination, basic skills, teamwork, and enjoying the game.

Our Lil VolleyStars opportunities are designed to give younger athletes a positive introduction to volleyball.

A volleyball camp can provide benefits that athletes may not get from their normal practices alone.

• More Repetitions
  • Athletes get additional opportunities to practice skills and receive coaching feedback.
• Quality Coaching
  • Our camps are led by our large staff of coaches who have years of experience coaching all ages and skill levels.
• Focused Instruction
  • Camps allow coaches to spend concentrated time working on specific volleyball fundamentals.
• Confidence
  • Learning a new skill and seeing improvement can help athletes become more confident on the court.
• New Competition
  • Campers get opportunities to work with and compete alongside athletes outside their normal team.
• New Friendships
  • Volleyball camps bring girls together who share a love for the sport.

At Aultman Volleyball Academy, we want athletes to leave our camps with more than improved volleyball skills.

Youth sports can teach athletes valuable lessons about:

• Confidence
• Communication
• Leadership
• Discipline
• Teamwork
• Accountability
• Perseverance

Our coaches work to create an environment where athletes are encouraged to work hard, support each other, and enjoy the process of getting better.

Volleyball camps don't have to replace an athlete's normal volleyball program. They can complement it.

An athlete participating in AVA's volleyball classes can use camps for additional skill development. A recreational volleyball player can use camp to get more repetitions between seasons. A club volleyball player can use advanced camps to continue working on specific skills. This creates a pathway where athletes can continue developing throughout the year.
