Press release:
The Genesee Community College Athletics Department has announced dates for upcoming soccer and volleyball camps to take place this summer at the College.
The camps will be taught by GCC coaches and players as well as other select coaches and players, and offer young athletes an opportunity to learn the skills and techniques of the game all while having fun.
