The Libero Camp on July 16 is designed for athletes who have identified themselves as a libero or defensive specialist. This camp will focus on passing and defensive techniques. Campers will learn the skill of forearm passing, overhead passing, various defensive techniques and reading the attacker. Campers will also learn leadership skills that are crucial to the libero position.
