Sheldon, Iowa — Northwest Iowa Community College will host a Prospect Volleyball Camp from July 8th through 9th in the Lifelong Learning & Recreation Center on the Sheldon campus.
The camp is designed for high school student‑athletes looking to develop their skills and experience collegiate‑level training.
The camp will be led by NCC Head Volleyball Coach Mark Kirlin and is open to students in the graduating classes of 2027, 2028, and 2029 who are interested in playing volleyball at the next level. Participants will receive hands‑on instruction and connect with coaches and athletes who share similar goals.
Sessions will feature high‑intensity, game‑like training, including 6‑on‑6 drills and scrimmages, and are geared toward experienced high school or club players preparing for collegiate competition. Instruction will be provided by NCC’s volleyball coaching staff with support from current Thunder student‑athletes.
Kirlin said, “This camp is about more than skill development. It’s about helping student‑athletes challenge themselves, compete at a higher level, and see what’s possible for their future.”
Check‑in begins at 3 p.m., with sessions running from 3:30 to 6 p.m. each day. The cost is $50, which includes a camp T‑shirt. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. Participants may register online by July 1st. Walk‑ins are welcome, though T‑shirt sizes are not guaranteed.
Camp participants will also learn more about NCC’s new women’s volleyball program, launching in Fall 2026, and what it means to be part of Thunder athletics.
