Camp Spots Filling Up

ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) – Spots continue to fill up for this summer's Central Florida Volleyball Camps led by UCF Volleyball head coach Todd Dagenais.  

Running one of the premier volleyball camps in the country, Dagenais and his staff of coaches will hold seven different options for campers of all ages and experience levels.

"Every single year, we make the subtle changes that past campers recommended," Dagenais said. "This year will be no different. Campers will have a variety of lengths to choose from. This year's coaching staff will be of the best in the southeastern part of the United States.

The camps will allow campers to learn from some of the best coaches in the nation, while adhering to a rigorous schedule that is similar to one that UCF volleyball student-athletes go through on a weekly basis.

"Numbers are starting to pour in, and we expect it to be one of our best attended camps ever," Dagenais added. "However, we will always maintain our 8-to-1 camper to coach ratio. This camp schedule will really give a camper a glimpse of what it's like to be a college student-athlete and enjoy the collegiate experience.
