James Madison University provides the perfect spot for this NIKE Camp.  Nine courts in both the historic Godwin Hall and the state-of-the-art University Recreation Building combine to host campers as they train and learn from a dedicated and influencial coaching staff. 

 

The camps aim to develop the total athlete, both on and off the court.  Individualized instruction ensures that each participant leaves camp a more experienced and improved athlete.

All Skills instruction is available to girls, ages 10-18, playing at any ability level from beginner to advance.  Every aspect of the game is covered, giving you a solid foundation to build upon after camp.

Advanced instruction is open for athletes entering grades 9-12 who are at least 14 years of age.  Campers will be expected to participate in a thorough evaluation on the first day and will be divided by their ability level thereafter.
