56ers brings together 5th and 6th-grade athletes looking to improve their volleyball game by improving their skills and gaining competitive playing experience. This camp is designed to bridge the gap between MVA Youth Camps and the MVA Club Teams.

With the help of experienced and supportive coaches, 56er athletes will have the opportunity to work hard, play hard, and have fun!
