Defensive Skills Camp
JULY 9-11, 2024 | 4:00-6:00 PM
ENTERING GRADES 7-12 IN THE FALL
As the only defensive camp in Tucson, this camp is designed for athletes entering grades 7-12 who have a burning desire to play defense! Whether your a setter, outside hitter, or middle blocker, we're pretty sure that your coach has asked you to play better defense!
​
Disciplined defense has been the cornerstone of the Ironwood Ridge Volleyball program. Over the past 15 years, the Nighthawks won the Southern Region Championship while averaging 10.56 digs/game and have limited their conference opponents to 7.9 kills/game and .115 attacking. The Nighthawk program has placed more Liberos on post-season teams than any other high school program. This camp provides players an opportunity to learn from defensive-minded coaches and players, making each camper a valuable player on their high school or club team!
​
The sessions focus specifically on general ball handling while improving defensive techniques for improved execution during game situations through excellent, intensive training. The camp will be taught with a hands-on approach - each camper will be taken through step-by-step progressions, which will include posture and basic fundamentals such as digging, passing, and emergency floor defensive rolls; serving and blocking will be included. Campers will also learn a variety of systems and styles that help them with their defensive responsibilities on the court.
