Summer Clinics
Thank you to every single player, coach, and parent who helped make the 2009 summer camps work so well!!
Newton Parks and Recreation, and SMASH Volleyball presents, each summer, a series of Volleyball Clinics, for High School Boy and Girl Athletes.
These camps are unique in New England because of the extended concentration on specific skills. Each week requires 6 hours of drills each day for 5 days: 30 hours of strongly coached, demanding volleyball drills in ONE SPECIALTY POSITION ! All of our weeks fills early! Register by April/May! All of the Summer Clinic sites are in Newton, MA.
-We have a full time trainer for each week!
Note: Many other camps are Sunday evening through Thursday mid-day - basically 3-4 days, for as much or more. SMASH is five FULL days, 9 AM-4 PM (arrive as early as 8 AM!)
