2025 SRU Girl's Team Volleyball Camp
Wednesday, July 9 - Friday, July 11, 2025
NOTICE:
There has been a change in leadership for the 2025 SRU volleyball camps. Laurie Lokash and Erin Street, previously listed as co-directors of the [SRU Volleyball Girl’s Individual Camp/SRU Girls’ Team Volleyball Camp] are no longer affiliated with these programs for the 2025 season. Coach Lokash has retired, and Coach Street has accepted a position at another university.
This year’s camps will be led by newly appointed SRU Volleyball Head Coach Dylan Lasher, currently the director of volleyball and head coach at Thiel College, who brings a proven track record of transforming teams and a coaching philosophy focused on enhancing the student-athlete experience. All previously announced camp schedules, locations, and programming remain unchanged, and we are committed to delivering the same high-quality experience you expect from SRU.
About Camp
The Slippery Rock University coaching staff is committed to training athletes by providing each player with the opportunity to learn and enhance the fundamental skills of volleyball. We attempt to teach the game by providing quality instruction in conjunction with competitive opportunities.
The main objectives of the camp, in addition to learning volleyball skills, are to emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork and good old-fashioned fun. It is recommended that teams send eight to 10 players per team (minimum of seven); if there are more than 12 players on a team it is recommended that the team be split into two teams.
One coach per TEAM (required) will attend the camp free of charge; any additional coaches may attend the camp for a fee of $108/coach. Coaches are required to attend the entire camp in order to coach their teams during competitive play and assist during tactical training. A maximum of 18 teams (high school varsity, junior varsity or club) will be accepted.
