Welcome to Kristina Hernandez Volleyball Camp 2013
 |
For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 2 - 12 Session 2: July 15 - 26 |
Kristina Hernandez Volleyball Camp is for both girls and boys who desire a full day of volleyball training and instruction. Camp provides a healthy atmosphere in which campers can enjoy playing volleyball and developing friendships.
Camp Objectives
Players will develop their skills through frequent ball contact in a fun yet challenging environment. Games and competition will be used throughout camp as a learning tool with continued positive feedback.
This program is available to players of all ability levels. Campers are placed into groups of similar skill level in order to insure the most improvement, challenge and excitement. The intended goal is to motivate the skilled player, while teaching the beginner the basics to building a strong foundation in volleyball. All aspects of the game will be covered on both individual and team levels.
Daily Program
What to Wear/Bring
Each camper should wear daily: comfortable athletic shoes, socks, shorts, and a cotton T-shirt. Players must bring their water bottle. Bathing suit and towel will be needed on assigned swim days. Please label all items clearly with first and last name. Hofstra is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Each camper takes home a Hofstra Volleyball T-shirt.
Program Director: Kristina Hernandez
Kristina Hernandez is in her fourth season as the head coach of the Hofstra Volleyball program. Hofstra University Director of Athletics Jack Hayes named her to the post on March 27, 2008, following a four-year stint at Loyola (MD).
In her three seasons with the Pride, Hernandez has recorded a record of 41-57.
In 2010, Hernandez guided an injury-riddled Pride squad to 10 victories as Hofstra played without the services of Anissa Whitney for the entire season and saw Taylor Moore missed the majority of the season as well.
Hernandez saw her 2009 team win 13 matches and battle for a spot in the CAA Championship until the final weekend before falling just short. Senior Monica Knight led the league in kills and was a second team All-CAA selection, while junior Anissa Whitney was a third team all-league pick.
