NEW YORK — Columbia Volleyball and Head Coach Patric Santiago have announced the times and dates for the 2024 summer camps, with registration now open. This year's summer camps include three "Roar Elite Camps" and two "Roar Skills Camps" that are open to any and all high school aged entrants.

Roar Elite Camps are available from July 13-14th, July 20-21st, and July 27-28th. Meanwhile, Roar Skills Camps are available from July 15-18th and July 22-25th. 

The Roar Elite Camps will provide a high paced, intense, safe and fun, training atmosphere geared towards athletes with a volleyball background who would like to compete in college. Advanced skills and tactics will be taught.  One court session a day will include a discussion on sports performance, strength and conditioning, or sports nutrition by professionals in their fields who have worked with collegiate and professional athletes.  Camp staff will include coaches with NCAA, high level club, and professional experience. 

The Roar Skills camps are geared towards developing and teaching the six skills of volleyball to participants of all ability levels in an energetic and positive environment. Passing, Individual Defense, Setting, Attacking, and Blocking will all be covered. In addition, team defense, team transition, and team serve receive will also be covered. The camp aims to help players develop confidence in both practice and game settings.
 
Campers will benefit from the 15 years of experience that Santiago brings to the court. Prior to joining the Columbia staff, Santiago spent three years at Duke as the Associate Head Coach and 10 years as a head coach at Iona and SUNY Farmingdale.  During his time on the bench, Santiago coached the 2021 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and while at Iona he navigated the Gaels to a historic 2018 season, finishing with a program record in wins, the second MAAC Championship in program history, and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. The camp staff will also have a multitude of high-level club, international, and professional experience.
