The UCSB Recreation Department invites boys ages 12-17 to participate in our 27th annual summer volleyball camp program.
Improve your volleyball skills and train with top high school, club and college coaches.
The camp is designed for all levels of players.
Coach McLaughlin is in his first season coaching at UCSB having taken over for Coach Ken Preston. This camp was formerly called the "Top of Your Class" camp which was run for many years by Coach Preston.
Advanced players will be placed in separate groups from other levels in order to provide a high level camp experience.
During the four days of camp, players will benefit from intensive drills, competition and instruction. Participants will receive expert coaching and extensive training in competitive volleyball fundamentals and tactics. The camp goal is to encourage enjoyment and success by providing a wholesome, enthusiastic, learning environment in which all campers may build, refine and test their volleyball skills.
Check-in is 1:30pm-2:30pm on July 18th. Camp ends at noon on July 21st.
