FACILITIES

Gopher camp will be held on the campus of the University of Minnesota. The primary site for camp will be at the home of Minnesota Volleyball, the Sports Pavilion.

The 5,800 seat Sports Pavilion is a volleyball specific arena. The Sports Pavilion provides the Gopher volleyball team with a tremendous home court advantage. Minnesota Volleyball has some of the best fans in the country and is consistently ranked in the Top 10 in National Attendance (Ranked #3 in the country in 2005). The Sports Pavilion is one of the best volleyball facilities in the country and will provide a special environment for your camp experience.

Williams Arena will serve as another site for the Gopher Volleyball camp. Williams Arena is the home of the University of Minnesota's basketball teams. The "barn" has a seating capacity of 14,300. A raised court, only one of a handful in the country, is a special feature at Williams Arena. In 2004, Williams Arena was the site of the highest attended volleyball match in the nation and the 5th largest regular season crowd in college volleyball history. The 10,927 fans that witnessed the Gopher victory shattered a 14-year old school attendance record.

Bierman Field Athletic Building and Cooke Hall will also be used for camp.
