The Central College volleyball team is set to run five different camps this summer, providing opportunities for student-athletes in grades 5-12 to work on their skills.

The camps will be directed by head coach Jeanne Czipri, assistant coach Laura de Rosales as well as other members of the coaching staff and current players. In 2021, Czipri led the program back to the American Rivers Conference tournament for the first time since 2016, posting a 15-13 overall record. The Dutch were 10-15 in 2022.

The camps start with an Elite Skills Camp for grades 10-12 on July 29-30. Positional training and individual fundamental mechanics along with advanced ball control and decision-making/vision training will be incorporated throughout the camp.

For younger athletes, there will be an Intermediate Skills Camp on August 5 for grades 8-9 and a developmental skills camp for grades 5-7 on August 4. The emphasis of these camps will be teaching and training fundamental individual skills and some team systems of the game while learning fun ways to continue to play the game,

Central is hosting a pair of team camps for local high schools on July 31-August 1 and August 2-3. Those camps are already at full capacity of 32 teams.

Attendees at all five camps will receive a Central volleyball t-shirt and some meals will provided at the Central Market. Athletes will be grouped according to ability at all three individual camps to ensure the appropriate level of challenge for each camper.
