It was a week of bump, set and spike last Monday through Thursday at the summer Cougar Volleyball Camp in the CCA high school gym.

Each day focused on the fundamentals of volleyball in addition to strategies to improve one’s overall game. Participating youngsters received instructions developing the skills of the game.

It was broken down into 90 minutes or ninth through 12th grade, 90 minutes for sixth through eighth grades and 90 minutes for third through sixth grades.

Each session culminated into 6-on-6 volleyball play. Youngsters learned the importance of good sportsmanship and teamwork.

New Cougar coaches Susie Hunter for varsity and Sara Nelson for JVs supervised the camp.

“We have a variety of ages of athletes from CCA, St. Mary’s School, and Big Rapids Middle/Elementary schools,” Hunter said.

Former CCA volleyball standout Triston Murray helped out with the camp.

“We were doing a lot of scrimmaging and showing the really young girls on how to play,” Murray said. “It was a lot of fun.”

Total turnout was around 47 youngsters.

Our high school camp was at the beginning of the day,” Murray said.

“I came here to help out because I played with a lot of these girls,” Murray said. “We focused on the main fundamentals.”
