While summer breezes on by, there is still time to register for a number of the sports camps available at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). On the tennis courts, action is set for the Boys & Girls Individual Camps July 19 to Aug. 14 and the Girls Team Camp Aug. 4 to 8. The tennis camp at UCSD is geared to help players understand the fundamentals of tennis, including stroke production, strategy, tactics and conditioning. Head coach Eric Steidlmayer will direct the camps along with assistant coach Timmer Willing. The coaching staff will consist of members of the men’s and women’s tennis team at UCSD. The camp will also provide the campers with an introduction to strength, agility and speed training appropriate for the camper’s age and ability. The players will be training their technique in the morning session and be allowed to play matches or situational games in the afternoon. At UCSD, the camp is designed to quickly build understanding of the game for beginners and also be challenging for experienced tennis players. * A 5-Day Instructional Baseball Camp will be held at UCSD for ages 8 to 13 from July 20 to 24. The cost to attend the camp is $400. The goal of the 5-Day Instructional Camp is to teach the proper fundamentals of baseball in a positive learning environment. Each player will receive instruction by the UCSD coaching staff in the areas of hitting, defense, pitching and base running. One of the highlights of the Instructional Academy is that the players improve their baseball skills while learning how to be an integral member of a team. The foundation of this academy is built on the concept of teaching each player to compete and develop in a fun, positive learning environment. * A Youth Summer Soccer Camp will take place July 27 to 30 from 9 a.m. to noon for ages 5 to 13. The summer camp is designed to help the youngest players learn and improve their basic soccer skills and techniques through age-appropriate training and enjoyable games. The emphasis of the camp is on fun. Campers will be divided into groups by age and/or level. UCSD soccer players and coaches will form the majority of the staff, and all campers will receive a UCSD T-shirt. * A girl’s volleyball team competition camp and coaches symposium will be held July 19 to 22 for ages 12 to 18. Each day of camp there will be team instructional sessions covering technique and tactics. Each afternoon the teams will compete in a round-robin format tournament. Each day there will be one 90-minute coaches educational session. Separate setter training will take place each day as well. For all team camps, teams must bring a minimum of eight players and a maximum of 14 players. Also, for those coaches who are bringing more than one team, they need to fill out a completed copy of the team roster for each team.
