CAMP COACHING STAFF
The Texas Tech Red Raider
volleyball camp will be directed by Texas Tech head volleyball
coach Jeff Nelson. Nelson has led Texas Tech to a 69-31 record
and two NCAA appearances and has been consistently ranked in
the top 25 nationally. He has also helped guide Arizona State
to the NCAA Tournament three times, has been the head coach of
the USA Boys Junior National Team and twice served as an
assistant at the U.S. Olympic Festival. Coach Nelson has
directed numerous camps and clinics throughout the United
States. He has experience at all levels of volleyball,
professional, collegiate, high school and junior club and
speaks at other clinics and camps around the country. Besides
coaching, Nelson has played volleyball for 20 years and in
1985, competed in the Men's NCAA Final Four.
Texas Tech has had a great tradition in volleyball and hopes to expand on that through the 90's and beyond. A number of current Tech players were campers at Tech during their high school careers. Red Raider volleyball has made five NCAA appearances in the past eight years and has also had players participate in summer National Team Programs.
The camp staff will include current and former Tech players along with assistant coaches and guest coaches from other universities. The staff is excited to meet you and help you in your development in the game of volleyball.
