Hello Everyone! My name is Shae Smith and I am thrilled to be your host for this volleyball camp. Over these 5 days, we’ll focus on key skills such as serving, passing, setting, hitting and teamwork, along with strategies to enhance your game. My goal is to help you improve your technical abilities while fostering a positive and encouraging environment. I expect each of you to bring your enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to learn, as we work together to elevate our skills and build lasting friendships. Let’s have an amazing time on the court!
My passion for volleyball began in the 6th grade when my sister was my volleyball coach. It was hard for me to grasp the concept of the game at such a young age, this is why I put together this camp to help young girls understand the game of volleyball. When I entered my freshman year of high school, I practiced every single day after school, so that I could be the best on Freshman A Cypress Falls volleyball team. By the end of the season, I was awarded the Best Hitter and I moved to varsity. I later signed with A&M to play as an outside hitter. Volleyball has always been more than just a sport for me; it’s a passion that fuels my drive to connect, inspire, and nurture talent. The excitement of being part of a team, the thrill of the game, and the joy of watching others grow in their skills are what motivate me every day. I believe that every player has unique strengths, and I am committed to creating an inclusive environment where each of you has the opportunity to shine. Through personalized coaching, constructive feedback, and encouragement, I’ll ensure that every participant feels supported and empowered to thrive both on and off the court. Let's cultivate our love for the game together and help each other reach new heights!
