Boys volleyball camp planned

A PVHS Boys Volleyball Summer Camp is scheduled for June 19-22 in the Ponte Vedra High School gymnasium. The camp will be run by the PVHS boys volleyball coaching staff and varsity volleyball players. All proceeds go toward supporting the PVHS boys volleyball program.

There are two separate, four-day camps:

  • The Mighty Shark Camp for rising sixth through eighth graders will be held from 1 to 4 p.m.
  • The Little Shark Camp for rising first through fifth graders will be held from 9 a.m. to noon.

Each camp is $115 and includes a camp T-shirt.

Campers will work on fundamentals: passing, setting and hitting. Skills will be reinforced using age-appropriate drills and games. The emphasis will be on fostering teamwork in a fun, positive environment.
All campers should bring their own water bottles. Wear comfortable workout clothes and rubber-soled sneakers.
