Yes! We encourage teams to register and train together to prepare for the upcoming season. Teams can be placed together on the court for all training sessions and games. Please add a note at check-out and mention it to the camp director on day 1.

Yes! If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp session, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 or email volleyball@ussportscamps with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group to use at check-out.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Transportation is not provided. Campers are responsible for getting to and from camp on their own. There is no supervision before or after camp hours so please make arrangements to pick up your child on time. If you are flying, we recommend using an airport shuttle service. Please schedule flights as close as you can to the check-in times on the first day and check-out times on the last day.
