CORPUS CHRISTI – With the addition of sand volleyball to the Island University, the Texas A&M - Corpus Christi volleyball program has added two weeks of sand volleyball camps. Campers will have the opportunity to attend the first sand volleyball camps at the brand new facility at the Dr. Jack Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium on Momentum Campus.

"I'm very excited about Islanders Athletics adding sand volleyball and our new facility being built at the Dugan Soccer and Track Stadium," head coach Tony Graystone said. "We are anxious to break it in and can't wait to host sand volleyball camps this summer. Our summer camps have enjoyed tremendous growth over the past six years and I'm so happy we can now offer campers another way to train and improve their indoor game and also introduce them to sand volleyball."

The Islanders are offering two weeks of camps, June 15-18 and June 29-July 2. The camps range from middle school to high school and are open to any and all entrants. Each session has a limit of 30 campers and the cost for a single camp is $85. For those registering for a session during both weeks the cost is $160. Campers however cannot attend multiple camps in the same week.

The camp is open to all levels, and there will be an emphasis on learning sand volleyball rules, how to train and play on sand, and understanding the difference between indoor and sand volleyball. During the camp, campers will spend one hour each day learning and practicing sand volleyball specific skills, and one hour playing in 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 competitive games. Campers will receive instruction from Islanders coaches and current players, and will receive an Islanders volleyball tank top.

The sand courts are located in the back of the Dr. Jack Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium on Momentum Campus located on Nile Dr. and campers can walk on the service road to the left of the stadium to find the courts. Parking is available in front of the stadium. Directions can also be found at: http://goislanders.com/information/facilities/index
