The Lady Lions Volleyball Summer Camps are designed for athletes of all ages and experience levels, from beginners learning the fundamentals of the sport to advanced players preparing for collegiate competition. Each camp will emphasize skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and confidence while introducing participants to the qualities college coaches seek in prospective student-athletes.
“Our goal is to help every athlete become a better volleyball player while building confidence and a love for the game,” said UAPB Head Coach Gabriel Floyd. “Whether you’re just beginning or preparing to play at the next level, our coaching staff is committed to providing instruction that challenges each camper while teaching the importance of hard work, discipline, communication, and being coachable.
