ST. LOUIS – Saint Louis head volleyball coach Kent Miller has announced dates and times for the 2017 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 taught by 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. All camps will be held at the Chaifetz Pavilion, home of Billiken Volleyball.
