The camp will cover all the basic fundamentals of volleyball including passing, setting, hitting, blocking and serving. Instruction on serve reception, transition, offensive and defensive systems will be introduced as well. The camp welcomes all ages and grade levels to the four-day event.
The Defensive Specialist (Libero) Clinic focuses on overall ball handling and the needs of this position - passing, defense and serving. Serve receive and defensive systems will be taught on as well. The camp runs from July 17-19 from 1-4 p.m. each. All ages and grade levels are welcome to participate.
The Elite Skills Camp is designed for campers going into the 9th through 12th grade only. The camp will review the basic fundamentals of volleyball and advance the athlete's skills and game knowledge to a higher level. Training will be geared toward the more advanced player with an emphasis on offensive and defensive systems.
The Advanced Position Camp is also designed specifically for the campers entering the 9th through 12th grades. The camp is for the serious player who already has a grasp for the basics. Focus is on specialized setter or hitter training. Setters will work on footwork, hand placement, accuracy and setting options. Hitters will work on arm swing, approach, pass to approach, dig to approach and transition training.
Each camper will receive a souvenir UTA Volleyball, a UTA Camp T-shirt, Daily Camper Awards. All campers are required to dress in athletic attire - tennis shoes and knee pads. Campers are also asked to bring drinking water.
