Train with Springfield college coach Joel Dearing before the boys volleyball
season gets started. This event will take place at Simsbury High School and is
intended to get Simsbury boys ready for the upcoming season. Players who have

better. This is a cheap alternative to any other camps or clinics, and is located in
our own gym! Please see Coach Leblanc if you have questions or concerns.
