JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida volleyball team will host a series of camps this summer at UNF Arena on the campus of UNF beginning in July.
"This is our first year doing overnight camps and we are really excited about that," said head coach Kevin Campbell. "We have also moved our camps from three days to four days. It is exciting to be able to expand our camps."
The first camp is set for July 12-15 and it is a Player Development Camp for ages 8-18, beginning at 8 a.m. and concluding at 4:30 p.m. There will be a second Player Development Camp July 19-22. Both camps are commuter camps. Player Development Camp is geared toward newcomers to the sport of volleyball. It is designed to improve player skills in all positions and foster a love for the game.
High Potential Camp is July 19-22, beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding at 9 p.m. This camp can be attended as either a day camper or an overnight camper and is for high school varsity level. High Potential Camp is for those who are advanced in the game. The campers will be trained in a similar fashion as to how a collegiate volleyball player would be trained.
July 13-14 is Junior Osprey Camp for ages 4-8 from 9 a.m. until noon. Junior Osprey Camp is for those who are just getting started in the game of volleyball. It will give young volleyball players a chance to have fun while learning the fundamentals of the game.
Single day Player Position Camps will be held July 16 and July 23 for ages 8-18. These camps will intensely focus on building campers skill level at various positions on the court.
The Ospreys will hold their final camp July 25-28 with National Team Competition Camp. This camp can be attended as either a day camp or overnight camp. It will consist of both skill development and team competition. There is limited space in team camp and spots are filling quickly. Teams must have a minimum of eight players and no more than 12.
All camps include a snack, t-shirt and lunch (Junior Osprey Camp does not include lunch). Overnight camp also includes breakfast, dinner and housing.
