2009 U14 Boot Camp - Athletes Information

Who can attend? Any athlete, male of female in grade 7 or 8, who has volleyball experience and would like to raise their skill level. All athletes will be evaluated and partnered up with those of similar skills.

Fees: The camp offers two levels of participation. For athletes who do not need overnight accommodation or meals, the fee will be $200.00. For those who wish to stay on campus for the three nights, there will be an additional fee of $165.00. Coaches and Chaperones: To help make this new program successful, we will need volunteers to act as chaperones and to work as coaches for the weekend. Please contact Bob Mann at sherrimann@rogers.com for more details. We are trying to coordinate a Level I Technical course for participating coaches. If approved, Region 3 will cover the cost for all who participate.

On site check in: Athletes must check in on Friday Morning at 9 am at the University of Waterloo (location to be determined). Upon arrival all athletes and chaperones who are staying overnight will be issued room assignments, keys and will be informed of the meal procedure.

Forms: A cheque, along with signed copies of the Registration Form, Participation Agreement, Medical Profile and Code of Conduct, should be received by your registrar no later than June 12, 2009.

Accommodations: Athletes will be staying in the Ron Eydt Village at the U of Waterloo. The rooms include linens and towels. The common areas will be cleaned by our hosts. The rooms must be maintained by the athletes.

Meals: Upon registration athletes will be informed of the procedure for meals. Meals will be served in accordance with the R3 Boot Camp schedule. Feel free to either bring snacks and drinks. Please note on the medical profile, prior to the Camp if you have any food allergies or if you have any special dietary needs which were not stated at the time of registration.

Schedule: The Boot Camp will consist of training sessions both in the gym and classroom. This will include discussions on goal setting, diet, nutrition, hydration, sports psychology, pre-game preparation, increasing flexibility and helping to build strength and conditioning.

On the last day, athletes will be placed on teams for competition from 12:30 to 5 pm. Athlete departure/pick up will be after 5:00 pm on Monday June 29.

What to Bring: Bring towels and toiletries along with changes of clothing and athletic shoes. Athletes should bring plenty of t-shirts since it could be very hot in the gym. All athletes that require taping MUST supply their own tape. Other things to bring include: alarm clock, water bottles, sunscreen, binder, pens/pencils, snacks, or change for vending machines, books, cards, etc. for downtime. Athletes will have access to the lounge space in the Centre during spare time. Athletes will have a limited amount of spare time, and will not be going anywhere without the coaches/chaperones, so there will not be an opportunity for shopping. Please do not send excess cash with the athletes. PLEASE BRING OUTDOOR ATHLETIC CLOTHING!

Damages/Lost Keys: A room inspection policy will be in place upon arrival and departure from the Centre. Any damages to rooms should be reported immediately.
