Release Forms for YDVP

What is YDVP?

YDVP is a developmental camp designed to introduce young girls to the sport of volleyball and help them develop an understanding and love for the game. Additionally, YDVP can help develop middle school players who are a bit more experienced. Your child will receive age-appropriate instruction during six (1.5 to 2 hour) sessions. Each session will include skill instruction, games and play. YDVP will use Volleylite volleyballs which are lighter weight and much easier to handle than the balls used in high school and college. Using these balls, each player will be able to execute the skills required in volleyball safely. We will also lower the nets to allow younger YDVP players to gain confidence as they execute the different skills using proper technique.

The most important aspect of the YDVP is the number of contacts that each payer will get over the course of each session. Each course will have a maximum of 45 players to insure a coach to player ratio of 1:9 and possibly lower. We will be using the CAP Elite facility which has three courts so we can divide up and have plenty of room to play and maximize each player’s level of involvement. We believe that players improve faster if they can receive regular feedback from coaches and contact the ball as often as possible. The games we play during each session will be modified to make sure that each player is actively involved throughout the practice.

All six sessions will be held on Sundays at CAP Elite on Anselmo off of Bluebonnet Blvd. The first course will be available to girls in grades 2-5 from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. and will begin on July 29, 2007. The dates for this course are 7/29, 8/5, 8/12, 8/19, 8/26 and 9/9. We will take the Sunday of the Labor Day weekend off. The cost of this course is $100.

The second course will be available to girls in grades 6-8 from 4-6 p.m. and will begin on
October 7, 2007. The dates for this course are 10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4 and 11/11. The last 30 minutes of each of these sessions will be a training session offered by one of the highly trained CAP Elite instructors in the areas of jump training, body weight exercises, etc. The cost of this course is $110 and offers an excellent opportunity for players to fine tune their skills before club volleyball tryouts.
