Former multiple national team player Jackie Conyers has been pleased with the development of her Back to Basics volleyball camp. The camp for boys and girls, which ended Friday at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium, aimed to teach the fundamentals and skills such as hitting, passing, setting, serving, blocking and defence from the host of instructors.
"We're pleased with the turnout," said Conyers as she reviewed the participants.
"We have a number of new campers and we were able to retain some of the campers who have been here from the start."
This year, four coaches from the United States, including Rita Buck-Crockett (a USA Volleyball Hall of Famer and two-time Olympian), worked along with Conyers to put on the camp as well as to help secure athletic scholarships for the various players.
Conyers, who has excelled in volleyball, basketball and softball, said this is her way of giving back to help in the development of team sports and she will continue to assist in whatever way she can.
