Summer volleyball camp / league for rising 6th grader?
My almost sixth-grader wants to try volleyball -- any recommendations for local summer camps and/or beginners league that are low-key and focused on fun while learning the game?
Thanks!

My son has attended one or two sessions College of Alameda's summer volleyball camp over the past 2 summers after 7th grade and 8th grade. In 7th grade, he was a novice and enjoyed the camp. And thought learning from some of the college players was kinda cool. In 8th grade, he played for his middle school and for a boys club team so he felt that the camp did not provide him with enough opportunities to advance the skills that he wanted to work on. Also, the vast majority of players at the camp are girls so that could have been a factor too.
It is an affordable program though it only runs M-Th, from 9-12noon. I would recommend it, especially as a low-key option for a new player.
