Private and Small Group Lessons

We provide personalized, advanced instruction for any and all skills.  For more detailed information about private lessons, click hereContact us to schedule lessons at
privatelessons@mnselect.com.

Attention Varsity Captains
We will be offering a high school volleyball pre-season tournament on Saturday, August 9th for $85/team. Go to www.mnselect.com for more details and to register for this event!  (More details will be posted soon.)
 
Additional Information:
Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early on the first day of camp to check-in and receive your camp t-shirt.

We'll open a half hour prior to the beginning of the first morning session and will remain open through the last session of the day. If a family needs us to open earlier, they should contact us at
info@mnselect.com.

Parents are more than welcome to stay and observe sessions. Please remain in the spectator areas (rather than coming out on the courts).

Participants attending both a morning and afternoon session are welcome to stay at Ralia or go out for lunch. Bring a packed lunch if you plan to stay as our concessions stand has limited supplies.

Participants registered for more than one session will receive a t-shirt for each camp.  We are not able to apply a credit to registrants instead of additional t-shirts. 

What to wear:
Participants should wear a tee-shirt, shorts, and court shoes. We ask that all participants wear a tee-shirt rather than a camisole or tank top because of the postures they play in. Also, we ask that participants carry in their court shoes and change into them upon arrival. This helps keep the court surface clean, dry, and safe in case of rain. Participants can wear kneepads as well if they wish.

What to bring:
Participants should bring a clearly labeled water bottle.
