Abby had an amazing experience at camp and will definitely return next year.  Not only did she learn about volleyball but she had the opportunity to grow as a person.  It was so evident that she had grown emotionally, socially and physically from the time I dropped her and picked her up.  Well done.
Thanks.
Tammy Lyons

The RIVBC is fantastic. My daughter never played volleyball - but she was quickly put at ease by great coaches - coach Eddie - who taught her the skills necessary to play volleyball. She learned a lot and had a great time doing so. The atmosphere was perfect for newcommers as well as seasoned athletes. ". See you next year!   -The Biggins family

CONGRATULATIONS WESTWOOD!!!!!

Lake George - "We just got back from our third year in a row of making the
NYS state tournament!!!  We won our league, section, and regional game
against some pretty stiff competition.  We had NOOOO height, but
defensively we played awesome and also very smart on offense.  We beat some
pretty big middles, so I was extremely pleased.  We ended up 22 -
4.  Thanks to your camp, we did awesome again.  We lost the first league
game on Sept. 10th I think, but then I made some changes and we adjusted
fine.  It was our school's ninth trip to the final four and our 15th
sectional title in a row!  So anyway, thanks again and can't wait for camp
info for this August.  Lots of my girls are eager to return again."                         Cathy Stanilka - Head Coach Lake George High School

Seisen Phoenix (Tokyo, Japan)-  The Phoenix have been flying high with only one defeat to Varsity by ASIJ and two defeats to JV by CAJ.  After our losing games though, we haven't lost anything and our tournament is soon to come.  Our most recent games have been sets like 25-3 and 25-5.  Individually I have definitely improved especially in my serving thanks to URI camp.  I served about 10 serves with 3 aces. Thank you so much!  We'll also be going to Far East soon and I'm hoping to go too!  Wish us luck and thank you so much for everything!        ~ Camper from Tokyo, Japan
