My experience in Oklahoma for USAV HP Camp

Day 1- When I arrived in Oklahoma, one of the coaches came to pick me up from the airport as well as four other girls. We took a shuttle to the dorms, then rushed over to check in. We had missed the camp meetings giving us all the information about where to go, when to go, or what to eat!  The woman who was checking the five of us in told us to go back to our dorms and ask our roommates' for all the information. Right when I walked into my dorm, my roommate ran up to me and shook my hand. I laughed and introduced myself. Her name was Sarah. Sarah had long blond hair, big brown eyes, and a very noticeable Texas accent. I looked at her pink clock she had next to her bed. The clock read 5:22 pm. Sarah saw me glance over at the clock, and she told me that dinner was at 5:30 pm. I thanked her as she continued to tell me more about where to go, where to eat, and what times we should be everywhere. Together, we walked over to dinner. I didn't sit with her. I sat with girls named Isis, Taylor, and Amelia. We were already good friends from last year's camp. I ate a salad, some grilled chicken, fruit, and a cookie. Twenty minutes later, we walked over to the gym in our red training shirts where we were  separated  into two groups. I was in group B. That meant tonight's practice would be at 8pm to 10pm. I thought that was so late! Before we started the session, we stretched. Then, we separated by position.  I went with all  the outside hitters. We worked on form and transitioning to hit. When the session ended at 10pm, I walked back to the dorm and showered. At 11pm, I was done showering, and unpacking. I headed to bed. I feel asleep very easily because I was so tired!

  1. what an interesting report. I bet you had a good time at the training camp with the rest of the girls. GOOD EXPERIENCE to travel on the airplane by yourself and it shows you are more independent than you think. love bubu
