The University of Alabama at Birmingham volleyball program, led by head coach Betsy Freeburg, will be hosting five camp opportunities for kids and experienced teens this summer.
Under the direction of Freeburg, and some of the best volleyball players and coaching staff in the Southeast, campers will receive notable training to better their skills and learn how to embody the techniques of the UAB Blazers.

On June 8, students from grades 8-12 will be able to participate in the Recruit ID Camp. Recommended for intermediate and advanced players looking to take their game to the next level or play in college, campers will be grouped by position and skill level and learn how to train and compete like the UAB Blazers.
