Summer Volleyball Clinic Registration Continues Thursday

June 11, 2008 — The University of the Virgin Islands' summer volleyball clinic is all set to go, and this year will feature a special guest: University of Tampa head women's volleyball coach Chris Catanach.
Registration for the clinic began Wednesday, but will continue until Thursday afternoon in the lobby of UVI's Sports and Fitness Center on St. Thomas. Participants will have to pay $175 for the four-day event, which runs June 16 – 19. The camp includes a daily snack and lunch, along with individual skill training provided by Catanach.
"This is the beginning of what we hope to be an annual trend, once we get everything a little more developed," said Curtis Gilpin, UVI's associate athletic director, on Wednesday. "We're planning on expanding to include basketball, swimming and softball down the road, but for right now this camp is geared toward building on the interest of volleyball here in the territory and developing some of our more intermediate and advanced players. Coach Catanach will help us in that arena by sharing his skills with our players and coaches, and hopefully that will help our players get some exposure, as well."
The camp is geared toward players between the ages of 12 and 24 and will focus more on individual instruction, Gilpin said.
Catanach led the University of Tampa's women's volleyball team to the NCAA Division II championship in 2006. In addition to heading up the clinic, he will also prep UVI's volleyball teams for the upcoming 2008 season.
