2026 Volleyball Camps & Clinics
In the tradition of excellence in Blugold volleyball, these well-established UW-Eau Claire camps have been designed to give players at all levels a better understanding of the game and an improved set of skills. The passionate and knowledgeable coaches and Blugold players teach fundamentals and advanced skills through fun and organized drills, team play, and effective demonstration. Team offensive and defensive systems are introduced and built upon at appropriate levels.
With high attendance numbers from year to year, camper-to-staff ratio is kept at 8 to 1, allowing for individualized instruction while accommodating a large number of athletes. This ratio, as well as age/ability grouping, allows all campers to develop at their own pace.
Teamwork, leadership and goal-setting are the core concepts enforced throughout the camps to ensure that campers leave with a wide base of knowledge to help them be better overall players in this team sport.
