Dear High School Coaches,

Thank you for your interest in the Augsburg Volleyball Team Camp.  We are excited to make this an annual event in your pre-season preparation to jump-start your team for the upcoming fall season.  We want your team to have a very positive experience at Augsburg College; please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your experience a great one!

Team Camp Information – Friday, July 29th:

Each team will participate in three volleyball sessions, including a team building session, a team practice, and a competition session where two teams will face each other in controlled scrimmage games.  Coaches are welcome to attend camp with his/her team but it is not required.  If a coach cannot be present for camp, Augsburg coaches will run the team practice session.  Otherwise, assistant court coaches will be provided for your team practice session.  We will do our best to honor all time slot requests.  Each team will have three time slots, with at least one break for a team meal.

The proposed schedule is as follows:
Session 1:  9-10:30am
Session 2:  10:35am-12:05pm
Session 3:  12:10-1:40pm
