The Elite Camp is a one-of-a-kind camp for athletes in grades 9-12 that will be held July 13-16.

This camp is geared toward high level players who have the dream and potential to play college volleyball, as campers will experience four days of intense, skill-specific training.
A one-day positional camp will be held July 12 and is open grades 5-12. The attacking clinic teaches campers every facet of attacking, from transitioning off the net to a powerful approach and a multi-directional arm swing. The libero clinic will place major emphasis on body posture, footwork, digging techniques, advanced floor skills, and ball handling techniques for serve receive and defense. The setter clinic features technique-packed training sessions with an emphasis on hand position, body posture, footwork patterns, release, location, and decision making.
Coach Dagenais has added a pair of Little Knights camps for kindergarten to fourth grade on July 11 and 16. An introductory to the fundamentals of volleyball, the camp offers a fun and safe environment for young athletes to learn the basics of an amazing sport from the UCF staff and student-athletes.
