BRUNSWICK — The Brunswick Parks and Recreation
Department and Bowdoin College are once again joining together to offer a junior volleyball clinic.
This clinic will focus on introducing young players to the sport of volleyball with an emphasis on fun and learning.
Game- like station work will provide opportunities for players to practice their new skills ( passing, setting, attacking, and serving) that will culminate into a full game. The youngest players will learn on lower nets and with smaller teams. All participants will be taught proper techniques and basic rules of the game.
Instructor Karen Corey is the head coach of women’s volleyball at Bowdoin College. A former Division I player at the United States Naval Academy, Corey is interested in developing the sport of volleyball for the youth of Midcoast Maine. She will be assisted in the clinic by the varsity women players from Bowdoin.
The clinic will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays, March 26 through April 11, at the Harriet Beecher Stowe School.
Grades K-3 will meet from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., grades 4- 6 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and grades 7-12 from 4:45 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.
Fees, which include a Molten volleyball, are $50 for residents and $66 for non residents (grades K-3) and $80 for residents and $104 for non residents ( grades 4- 12) for Brunswick residents and $67/$93 for non residents.
Registrations are being accepted at the Brunswick Recreation Center, 30 Federal Street, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
