UW-Oshkosh Announces Summer Volleyball Camps

The UW-Oshkosh volleyball program is pleased to announce that it will be hosting six volleyball camps throughout the summer of 2013 to help both boys and girls reach their full potential and to get them ready for the upcoming high school season.

UW-Oshkosh starts things off with its girls fundamental camp from July 1-3 that is geared for those entering grades 4-10 and want to work on all aspects of volleyball. Coaches will give you helpful hints on serving, passing, setting and blocking, as well as hitting instruction on footwork and offensive strategies. The camp will also include six-on-six drills and a team tournament.

For more than 25 years, UW-Oshkosh has offered its girls high school team camp for freshmen, junior varsity and varsity teams. Held from July 7-10, camp two is unique in that it offers lots of tournament play, team building sessions and a host of activities that get your team ready for the season. The camp will once again have its Survivor Series theme-based contests and challenges, skit night and volleyball drills to challenge the entire squad. Come and make some memories as you have fun on and off the court. UW-Oshkosh will even hire your head coach to use their contact days if they want to push you themselves!

Camp three offers elite girls the opportunity to work in their individual position from July 15-17. Participants will compete in drills covering serving and passing, play in a team tournament and get plenty of instruction in setting, middle blocking, right-side hitting, left-side hitting or playing back row. You decide! This camp is designed for elite girls entering grades 8-12 that have a strong desire to increase their skill level in one or two positions. Girls with a strong volleyball background are encouraged to attend this camp. You will divided by age and skill level so every participant gets the most out of camp. 

In what has grown into UW-Oshkosh's most popular camp, the girls elite fundamental camp will be offered August 4-7 and promises to work even the most seasoned camper. Camp four is designed for girls entering grades 8-12 and will challenge participants in the areas of serving, passing, setting and blocking. Hitting strategies such as quick attack and transition will be covered, and at least one specific position session will be offered. The camp will also include a four-on-four tournament, a team tournament to showcase what you have learned and a camp all-star match.
