Good morning! Lakeland High School just finished a very successful first season with bringing Boys Volleyball to our community! Boys Volleyball is Michigan's fastest growing sport, and will be an official MHSAA sport by 2025.

The camp is open to incoming fall 2023 3rd grade-9th grade boys in and outside of Huron Valley Schools. Our 2 day camp is open to any ability level boys that are interested in playing volleyball. The camp will be run by returning Lakeland Boys players with some help by Walled Lake Central boys volleyball athletes as well! We are hoping you can forward this information and flyer to your elementary and/or middle school teachers to forward to families.
