August 10, 2015 | Volleyball
BOULDER—The University of Colorado volleyball team is in Colorado Springs, Colo. to train at the United States Olympic Training Center until August 14.
“We are pleased to be able to return to the USOTC,” coach Liz Kritza said. “We're the only program in the country that has done that for the last five years and it has become our standard preseason training facility.”
The USOTC in Colorado Springs is the headquarters for the U.S. Olympic Committee administration and the Olympic Training Center programs. As of August 1998, there are 12 USOC member organizations that have their national headquarters on the complex, and 12 other member organizations and two international sports federations located nearby in Colorado Springs, including USA Volleyball.
The Buffs will return to campus on August 14 to complete their fall training block and will have a scrimmage at the Coors Events Center on August 22 at 4 p.m. The season officially starts on August 28 as CU hosts San Diego at 6:30 p.m. in the second match of the Omni Hotels Colorado Volleyball Classic.
Season tickets start at just $25 for general admission and are on sale now online or by calling 303-49-BUFFS. Reserved seats are $40 for the season and floor seats are available for $50. Single match tickets are also available. General admission seats are $5, reserved seats are $8 and floor seats can be purchased for $10. Kids 12 and under are free.
Fans can also purchase the Women's Sports Pass, which is new this season and supports women's basketball, soccer and volleyball. For just $125, over 50 percent off the single game box office price for those three sports, the Women's Sports Pass allows for seating in general admission areas at each venue for three of the most successful programs at CU. Once you purchase the pass, you will be mailed season tickets for all three sports.
In the past two years, these three programs have combined to win more than 70 percent of their home contests, combining for a 64-26-1 record in one of, if not the, toughest conference in America for each sport. In the past three seasons, each sport has made the NCAA Tournament with both soccer and volleyball making the Big Dance each of the past two seasons.
