Volleyball Camps Prepare Post for 1st District Season
Published July 31, 2012 @ 10:28 p.m.
Second year head coach Charlyn Hohman is looking forward to her first district volleyball season at Post ISD.
Last year was the inaugural non-varsity season for the Lady Lope volleyball program. Hohman commented at the end of 2011 "other schools complimented us throughout the season on how well we played. Most schools that start out in a first year program don't have as much success as we have had and struggle doing simple things like hitting and blocking."
The high school team practices start August 6, the first scrimmage is set for August 10 at Olton and the first official varsity game is scheduled for August 13 against Plainview Christian at the Antelope Arena.
To maintain the momentum going into the fall schedule, Hohman kept the girls focused on the sport with summer camps.
July 19-21, almost 30 players participated in the traveling Olympa Volleyball Camp. The renowned organization is directed by former Olympic team staffer Robyn Romansky and All-American Renee Johnson.
Romansky also was an assistant at Texas A&M from 2004-2009. She played her collegiate career at Southwestern University in Georgtown, Texas.
Johnson, was named All-American while at Blinn College in 2005 and went on to play for the University of Georgia.
One aspect of the three day Olympa Volleyball sessions was the last hour of the workout known as Boot Camp consisting of an a continuous arobic type workout.
Earlier that week, July 16-18, Hohman conducted a camp for elementary and junior high volleyball players with the help of friend Coach Palmore and a few high school Lady Lopes. Eighteen girls participated.
Here are the camp participants:
