The Valparaiso volleyball team will host its 2006 overnight volleyball camp July 10-13 at the Athletics-Recreation Center.

Open to boys and girls grades 6-12, the camp offers strong emphasis on fundamental volleyball skill improvement and will be staffed by members of the three-time Mid-Continent Conference regular season and tournament champion Crusader volleyball program. Participants will be divided based on ability, and evening sessions will incorporate competitive drills and games leading to the camp's Tournament of Champions.

All campers will have access to the ARC swimming pool, pick up an official camp t-shirt, earn prizes and awards, and have a chance to make purchases at the camp store.

Interested boys and girls can sign up now by contacting Head Volleyball Coach Carin Avery at (219) 464-5323 or Carin.Avery@valpo.edu. Registration for the camp will remain open through July 1. The cost for overnight guests is $375, and a commuter rate of $290 is also available.
