CARLSBAD >> Now that July is around the corner, the Carlsbad volleyball team will be quite active holding a trio of upcoming events.
Newly-hired coach Bobby Bates said that open gym hours will start on Monday. Girls in sixth, seventh and eighth grade will practice from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., followed high school girls from 9:30 a.m. to noon.
Open gym hours will resume from 8 a.m. to noon Tuesday through Thursday, as well as the following Monday.
Bates said the open gym hours will be available to those looking to play middle school or high school volleyball and to help them work on their skill sets. Bates also said the open gym hours are available to seeking another summer activity.
The CHS Cavegirls volleyball camp will be held from 8 a.m. to Noon July 8-10 and open to girls entering kindergarten through ninth grade.
They'll receive a free lunch, t-shirt, volleyball and camp picture. The Cavegirl volleyball players will also sign autographs at the camp.
Participants must bring tennis shoes, knee pads and a water bottle.
The registration fee is $50 prior to July 5, $60 at the door the same day as the camp.
"Hopefully, some of these older kids will be mentors for these younger kids," Bates said. "We're trying to create that rapport. It's important for youth to see this."
Bates said there's no set registration limit "to his knowledge" at this point.
When it's all said and done, Bates said it's important to teach the game's skills correctly to not only help prevent injuries, but also instill a love for the game.
There will also be a 4-on-4 Co-Ed tournament at 9 a.m. next Saturday at Lake Carlsbad Beach Park, Bates said.
Bates said it's a good way to get the community more involved with the sport and potentially increase general interest.
Bates said once the adults start playing, it'll in turn spark the kids' interest.
Bates said the tournament will hold up to 12 teams. The registration fee $60, which will help support the high school program. Bates said registration will go until 8:45 a.m. that morning.
For more information on all these upcoming events, contact Bates at 575-420-4291.
