Volleyball - summer camps and tournaments

Now that spring sports are over, it's time to start looking at the various summer leagues, camps. and tournaments.

I spoke with head coach Kerri Molitor a few weeks ago about the upcoming summer activities for the Wildcat volleyball program. Their main camp will be here at OHHS! From July 21-23, Western Washington University Coaches will be at the high school for a camp that is open not just for the high school players, but for middle school girls as well. When asked what she is looking forward to most during camp, she said "Getting to know the players, seeing how they work together" and "trying out new positions to see what will best benefit the team". In preparation for camp, Coach Molitor is having practice every Tuesday and Thursday from 5-8pm.

I asked Coach what she, personally, hoped to gain from camp, she said she always learns new strategies and gains ideas. For the players, she's looking for the girls to improve their individual skills and transfer those skills to team play. She's looking for her team to be open-minded, willing to learn, willing to contribute to the team no matter what role, and most importantly, trust and respect the other girls on the team as well as the coaches.

In closing, Coach Molitor said she's very excited to work with the girls again, and the team overall has the potential to be very strong, but it will require dedication and integrity from everyone.
