RATCAMP BEACH VOLLEYBALL CAMP OVERVIEW
Our Beach Volleyball
Camp was such a success last year... we're bringing it back in 2008!
This camp will be under the direction of Ed Ratledge who is a touring
beach volleyball professional and the Director of RATCAMP
(www.ratcamp.com).
Our goal is to encourage the participants to enjoy the experience by providing an enthusiastic learning environment in which the campers may learn, refine and test their volleyball skills.
The BBSR RATCAMP program is designed to accommodate both the serious player who is looking to improve their indoor or beach volleyball game as well as the beginning-intermediate player who may be still just learning the basic skills of this great sports activity.
BBSR RATCAMP provides the perfect rustic mountain camp setting for skill development, fun and character building in a LIVE–IN environment.
The camps is highly individualized and enrollment is limited.

Development
"One of my goals is to develop players that will replace me on the world beach volleyball tour in a few years... as well as help them all become some of tomorrow's best volleyball players.

Each player's skills will be tested to determine their skill level. The camper will receive instruction and participate in drills related to their level of play. All campers will receive instruction in all facets of the game which will include: hitting, setting, blocking, passing, digging and serving.
