OTHER SPORTS
DIS Field Hockey's mission is to prepare
athletes to compete at the highest level,
while setting personal goals for individual
growth. Coaches push athletes to their full
potential, introducing new skills and mastering
fundamentals of the game. DIS Field Hockey
uses the field as an extension of the classroom
to build confidence in young athletes and
prepare them to be contributing members of
the community.
The Danvers Indoor Sports Volleyball Academy
is where athletes train to develop strong
volleyball fundamentals, raise their skill
level, and increase court awareness. The
academy is great for beginner and experienced
volleyball players. DIS Volleyball Academy
coaches follow the philosophy used by the
USA Olympic Volleyball program and create an
atmosphere that encourages learning and fun.
The academy offers skills classes, summer
clinics, positional training, and private lessons.
Camps and classes have a 10:1 player-to-
coach ratio.
YOUTH PROGRAMMING
Children can participate in sports with the
DIScover Youth Programs, which include
summer camp, after-school classes,
homeschool classes, school vacation camps,
and more. DIScover camps are extremely
popular, providing children the classic summer
camp experience without the stress of sunburn
and soggy bathing suits. Games like capture the
flag, gaga ball, and Frogger are a few favorites
that keep up the activity and the fun. With
an emphasis on fun and fitness, rather than
competition, DIScover programs teach children
building blocks for skills in school and beyond.
DIS also offers birthday parties. Parents can
choose from several packages, or they can
build a custom package. Birthday parties can
be centered around games of flag football,
basketball, floor hockey, dodgeball, or it can be
a dance party. A typical party consists of an
hour of field time and ½ hour in a party area.
The staff will set up, clean up, provide all paper
goods, and service the party to ensure smooth
operation.
