Minnetonka Community Education

Volleyball skills are taught through drills and exercises that focus on passing, setting, hitting and serving. Sessions will include short court and 2 vs. 2 court games. No experience or equipment is necessary. This program is instructed by Stephen McCarthy of the McCarthy Project. Since 2001, Stephen has researched and developed innovative training, skill development and techniques specific to sport and is USAV and BCAP certified coach.

Learn beach volleyball through a combination of instruction, fitness and fun, outside and in the sun. Sessions will consist of one hour of technique and development drills followed by one hour of game play. This camp is designed for more experienced players who are looking for next level instruction and competitive play. All camps are taught by Stephen McCarthy and his staff from The McCarthy Project.

Players will build the skills necessary to enter the MHS volleyball program. Coaches focus on teaching game situations, skills and techniques. This is a great learning opportunity for middle school students. Camp will be led by MHS head volleyball coach Karl Katzenberger and his staff, with assistance from current MHS volleyball players and Minnesota Gopher players. Please bring a water bottle and wear a shirt long enough to tuck in. Each participant will receive a summer camp t-shirt.

Shoreline Volleyball Club Tryouts Tryouts for the 14U team will take place from 10:00am-11:30am on Sunday, October 25 at Minnetonka Middle School East. Players will be dropped off at the Aquatics/Gym entrance with coaches checking players in starting at 9:50. Players should arrive with a face mask on for check in and will be able to remove the mask during the workouts. There’s a Shoreline agreement that players and parents will sign at drop off and then players have temp taken and will be able to head in to get ready for the tryout. The actual tryout will take place from 10:00am-11:30am so parents should be back at MME at 11:30am. Parents will drive up at 11:30am and if we’re unable to place your daughter on the team, we’ll send her out for pick up. If we are able to place her on the team, we’ll ask parents to come inside to complete a registration form and get a chance to meet with Karl about the upcoming season. Parents will be expected to enter the building with a face mask and we’ll have a plan to be able to spread out for the meeting about registration. If you have any questions ahead of tryouts please don’t hesitate to ask.

For players who have had limited or no organized volleyball experience, learn the fundamentals of the game. We will be using an age-appropriate net height and volleyball. Camp will be led by MHS head volleyball coach Karl Katzenberger and his staff, with assistance from current MHS volleyball players and Minnesota Gopher players. The camp will include two main components - skill instruction and game simulation. Please bring a water bottle and wear a shirt long enough to tuck in. Each participant will receive a summer camp t-shirt. Come join us this summer!
