Intermediate/Advanced Volleyball II 

This camp is for players that have at least 1 year of school / travel volleyball experience.  The camp will include instruction/drills each day.  We will be utilizing the sand volleyball courts to introduce beach volleyball to some and focus on refining skills to others. The benefit of beach volleyball is that it helps players develop every aspect of their game, as well as great conditioning. Team play will consist of mini games that allow athletes to play with a mix of partners of varied experience and skill sets to improve their own game and leadership/teammate skills.

Community Service Sampler 

J.B. Fuqua once said, "I am my brother’s keeper, and I don’t think I’m doing my share in life unless I’m doing my share for my brother."  Part of being a good citizen and a Fuqua Falcon is contributing to the community.
