Coaches Free T-shirt Program

Fri, 02 Feb 2007 05:57:05 GMT

It's our way of saying "Thanks!"

Every year for over a decade, hundreds of coaches have outfitted their staff in our custom camp T-shirts, shipped directly to the schools in August. It only takes 4 camp sessions to qualify (that's one player taking 4 camps or four players taking 1 camp, or any combination of players and camps). The more sessions attended from your school, the more shirts your program qualifies for! In early August, the head coach will receive a report of all players in attendance for the summer, including their grade and camp(s) attended. The report will also indicate the number of shirts for which you qualified and ask for a response so that we can ship the correct sizes and colors. Good luck!

Hear What Campers Say About Sokol

Thu, 01 Feb 2007 17:50:32 GMT

This is a quick note to let you know just how thankful we are for the Debbie Sokol Camps.... Kara Hauck attended at least five camps at Sokol in four years. I can tell that over time it really did help her. Just so you know, your efforts along with her playing club helped her to WIN THE MOST VALUABLE SETTER award for District 20-4A .... Her team mate, Serena won MVP. Kara and Serena were quite a pair during their last year at PNG. ANYHOW, this note is just to thank you for being part of Karas success. Bill Hauck Parent I have previously attended Debbie Sokol camps for the past 3 years. I am now currently coaching six graders who will be trying out for the team next year. I feel that Sokol Volleyball Camps offer the best training and skills out there. I always liked to go to these camps over the summer, and as for the price, it is very reasonable. I would like you to send me your brochures about the various camps that Debbie Sokol offers, so I can inform the parents of an inspiring...
