The deadline to register for one of several 2017 UTEP Volleyball Summer Camps is just around the corner.
Interested players will have until 11:30 p.m. on May 31 to do so and registration can be done through the
website. The camp is open to youth in grades 3-12 as well as college-age students. Prices for each camp range from $90.10 to $159.00.
The first schedule of camps will begin June 7 and the second slate will start July 11, with morning and evening options available.
The 2017 UTEP Volleyball Summer Camp will be adding a new overnight position camp as well as four different beach volleyball camps. The UTEP Student Recreation Center will host the beach camps and the position camp will take place at Memorial Gym and Miner Village. Incoming, current, and former UTEP volleyball athletes and staff will be on hand assisting and coaching during the camp.
Beach volleyball was added by the NCAA at the collegiate level in 2012 as a result of the sport’s growing popularity. At the beach volleyball camp, participants will learn all aspects of the game and help become a more well-rounded player.
UTEP volleyball assistant coach Paty Figueiredo and her staff will conduct the camp geared toward individual instruction and overall competition.
The indoor volleyball camps will look to improve participants’ volleyball skills by teaching and building fundamentals, using drills, and playing games that allow players to learn and strengthen their volleyball skills. Campers will receive both group and one-on-one attention.
A full list of the camp schedule, as well as prices, are below.

The UTEP volleyball team announced its tentative 2017 fall schedule. Thirteen home matches, including two home tournaments, will take place in Memorial Gym this fall. UTEP will open the year with 14 non-conference matches, including Texas Tech and New Mexico, before Conference USA play begins September 22.
�There�s a couple teams we saw last year,� head coach Holly Watts said. �We played at North Dakota and we played against Samford and to have them play here at our home court will be nice. They were both tough matches last year, but tough matches that we played well.�
The fall schedule kicks off August 25-26 in a rotating tournament in San Antonio, Texas, when the Miners take on Lafayette, Tulane, and UIW. The Miners will return home on Aug. 30 to take on Big 12�s Texas Tech in Memorial Gym.
The Miners will also host two tournaments in as many weeks, beginning with the Glory Road Invitational, which will bring New Mexico, Youngstown, and North Dakota, Sept. 1-2 and ending with the Borderland Invitational featuring Samford, Delaware State, and Abilene Christian Sept. 8-10.
�It�ll be great to have two tournaments, two weekends back to back right here at home,� Watts said. �It�ll give our fans something to watch early in the season so they�ll be excited to come back and watch more as the season goes on.�
A trip to Portland, Oregon, for the Portland Tournament Sept. 15-16 will round out tournament play for the Miners before the Interstate 10 rivalry match against NM State Sept. 19 in Las Cruses, N.M.
Conference USA play will begin with a two game home stand beginning with a Sept. 22 meeting with Rice and ending with a Sept. 24 match against UAB.
The Miners will then hit the road Oct. 1-8 for three matches against UTSA, Charlotte, and Southern Miss.
�That�s probably our toughest road trip in terms of logistics and getting to those campuses,� Watts said of the October weekend. �I�m glad that�s early in the season as far as the conference play goes, but really, we flip back and forth every weekend except for that stretch of three matches. We don�t have a game on the Friday before that Sunday away so I think its going to work out.�
The team will play host to North Texas Oct. 13 and have a rematch with UTSA at Memorial Gym that Sunday. The Miners will go to Bowling Green, KY, to face WKU, then meet with Rice again in Houston.
LA Tech and Middle Tennessee will battle the Miners Oct. 27 and 29, respectively, at Memorial Gym before the Orange and Blue make a trip to Florida to face FIU and FAU. Conference USA play will end with Marshall on Nov. 8 in Memorial Gym.
The Miners will face New Mexico in a non-conference matchup in Albuquerque before the Conference USA Tournament hosted by WKU beginning Nov. 17.
�We are playing some teams that have been to the NCAA Tournament recently so theres a level of teams that would be good wins,� Watts said. �At the same time, there�s some opportunities to win quite a few matches, so hopefully we�ll take care of business and get some wins.�

UTEP Volleyball�s head coach Holly Watts announced the addition of Abby Adams for the 2017-18 campaign on Tuesday.
�I chose UTEP because of the competitive Biology academic program, and the Pre-Dentistry curriculum,� Adams said. �I am excited about all the courses they have to offer. UTEP is a beautiful campus, and a university full of tradition. I am looking forward to being a part of the University of Texas at El Paso and the volleyball program.�
Adams is 5�8 from Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo., where she played at the defensive specialist position for three years.� During her time with the Eagles, Adams took the court in 157 sets as the starting libero while tallying 440 digs at 2.8 digs per set, 56 assists, 19 service aces and 14 kills.
The Valor Christian squad wrapped up the 2016 season by finishing in the Final Four of the 4A State Volleyball Tournament for the second time in school history. Adams finished her senior campaign earning accolades for her work in the classroom and on the court.
Her awards included being named to the�2016 CHSAA 4A First-Team All-League, CHSAA All-State First-Team All-Academic, CHSAA All-State Honorable Mention and 4A Honorable Mention All-Academic.
�We are excited to add Abby to our roster for the 2017 season,� Watts said. �Abby comes in with her experience as a defensive player and specifically libero, she will bring additional ball control and experience at a high level to our�gym.
�We are thrilled she has decided to come to UTEP and bring her back-row prowess with her. She is playing again this club season with a quality club and great coaches and she will continue to gain experience even before her arrival.�
Aside from high school volleyball, Adams played club volleyball since the age of nine. She plays for Colorado Juniors 18 Jess, who will play in the 18 Patriot Division of the 2017 Girls��Junior�National�Championships (GJNC) in Minneapolis this summer.
