ETNA – Your volleyball team has a strong season, with a Shasta Cascade League co-championship. What do you do during the summer? For varsity coach Kayla Nadig and JV coach Linda Berry, the answer is bring down Adam Wagman and Molly Grossmann from Ashland, OR, and put on a camp for your team.

Wagman is the coach of mOcean, a club team based in Ashland, and an assistant coach at Southern Oregon University. Grossmann was a setter on the SOU Lady Raiders volleyball team and also coaches mOcean, with Wagman.

Wagman and Grossmann came in contact with the Etna staff through Lady Lion volleyball standout Claire Pynes and her father, Scott. Pynes plays for Wagman on the mOcean team.

Seventeen Lady Lions and prospective Lady Lions are participating in the camp, which runs for three days, 5 ½ hours a day. Players range from incoming freshman to seniors.

“We’re trying to get them to learn the basic skills, and I’m taking notes on how to teach some of the skills that are hard to teach, and he’s (Wagman) breaking it down pretty well for them,” said Berry.

Berry said that although this is the first camp that the current coaching staff has run, the intention is to continue with the camps, hopefully with the continued involvement of Wagman and Grossmann.
