ST. LOUIS - Head coach Kent Miller has announced dates and times for the 2013 Saint Louis Volleyball Camps.

"Our camps are unique in that they provide the beginning player with a sound foundation, yet they also challenge the higher-level players, helping them improve with advanced technical and tactical training," Miller says about the philosophy of his camps. "We work really hard to ensure that each player is challenged at the appropriate level to allow them to improve as much as possible."

The camps will be conducted by coach Miller and the rest of the Saint Louis volleyball staff. Select current and former Billikens will assist the coaching staff as camp coaches, along with other collegiate players.

Individual Camp, which focuses on an all-around improvement of skills and 6-on-6 team play, will be July 9-11 as well as July 15-17 from 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. each day.

Libero/Defensive Specialist Camp is a one-day camp dedicated to this specialized position and will be held July 18 from 9:00 a.m.-3:30p.m.

Little Bills Intro to Volleyball is new in 2013. This camp is appropriate for players age 10 and under who are new to the game of volleyball. It runs June 6-7 from 9:00 a.m.-Noon each day.

Serve It Over is also new in 2013. This two-and-a-half hour mini-camp is recommended for new players or those players who struggle to serve the ball overhand over the net. It will be held July 8 from 1:00pm-3:30pm.

Finally, two-and-a-half-hour mini-camps focused on hitting, blocking (NEW in 2013), serving, setting and passing will be held throughout the same two weeks as individual camps. These mini-camps focus exclusively on one skill and augment training received in Individual Camp. They also serve well as stand-alone training sessions.
