Summer VB camp set at UST

March 12, 2008

The 2008 Thanh Pham Volleyball camp, hosted at St. Thomas' Coughlan Fieldhouse and Schoenecker Arena by its volleyball head coach Thanh Pham, will be held with two sessions in July.

"The mission of the camp is to provide high-quality instruction in a positive environment while getting you in shape for the high school or middle-school season," Pham said. "We want this to be the best camp you’ve ever attended."

All the sessions will be led by Pham, who'll be entering his sixth year at St. Thomas with a record of 131-35. He has coached five All-Americans, two National Players of the Week and 13 all-conference selections. He has also coached at Northern Lights, M1, Augsburg College, as well as many other camps across the country. 

Pham was named NCAA Region Coach of the Year in 2007 after his team won the conference title and came wthing two points of reaching the NCAA final eight. In 2005, he was named MIAC Coach of the Year after his team won the regular season and playoff titles going an impressive 14-0 against other Division III Minnesota schools. The Tommies made it to the NCAA Sweet 16 before losing and finished 11th in the final national poll. The Tommies returned to the NCAA playoffs also closed with the No. 11 national ranking in 2006.

Other coaches will include current and past St. Thomas players along with other high school and club coaches from the metro area.
