Cowley Tiger volleyball summer league and camps

Cowley College is offering a girls high school summer volleyball league July 6-29 inside W.S. Scott Auditorium. Games will be played on Monday and Wednesday nights at 6 p.m.

Teams must consist of at least six players and are guaranteed at least two matches a night. The cost is only $40 per player and referees will be provided. Individuals may register and be placed on a team.

The championship match will take place on July 29 and winners will receive a Cowley College volleyball t-shirt.

New Cowley College volleyball coach Jenifer Bahner and members of the nationally ranked Lady Tigers will conduct a pair of volleyball camps in August.

The middle school session will be held Aug. 5-6, while the high school session will take place Aug. 6-7. The cost is $100 for overnight campers that stay in the dormitories and $70 for those attending but not staying on campus. A camp t-shirt will be provided.

The emphasis of the camps is to teach and develop the fundamental techniques and team concepts of volleyball. Campers will be introduced to all the skills that make up a complete volleyball player.

There will be a total of four training sessions. Meals will be provided for residential campers, and commuter campers can pay $5 for each meal if they would like to eat with the other campers.

Coach Bahner served as an assistant coach at Pittsburg State University for the past two years and helped lead the Gorillas to back-to-back national tournament appearances. During that time, the Gorillas were nationally ranked in the top-25 and had the best season in school-history at 28-8.

The Cowley College volleyball teams have been nationally ranked each of the past four seasons and have finished in the top-five each of those years.
