Love Camp!
I loved NBC camp. The staff is amazing and my skills improved so much! The varsity coach at my high school said he noticed a huge improvement. I will be back again next year for the complete camp and Power camp. I attended both this year and LOVED them both.
Well worth it
NBC Camps are well worth the investment. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience and is a better player for her effort.

Great experience
This camp is a great learning experience and will definitely help you become a better player. They have a great coaching staff and they help make everything fun.

Learned so much
This volleyball camp taught me so much! I definitely think I improved by coming to this camp. You have to come with an open mind to learn and you can't be so hard on yourself if you don't get it right away!
Great skills training
This was my first NBC Camp experience and I think every athlete should attend one of these camps. The coaches work you hard, but you develop skills that you didn't come to camp with or perfect the ones you already had. It was AWESOME!
Driven to be great
I really appreciate NBC Camps. I have been involved for three years now. This camp pushes you so hard to do your best. You won't regret this camp. If you want to push yourself extremely hard you will get so much out of this camp. I personally learned that I can push myself harder than I think. Also, encouragement is key if you want to do well.
Inspiring and Motivating
This camp inspired and motivated my daughter in such positive ways! She would call me each night gushing about how awesome the training and staff was as well as the new friends and inspirational activities she was involved in. I would definitely recommend this camp to any student athlete!
Well-organized and professional
Camp was very organized, had a glitch at registration but it was handled professionally and quickly, the staff and coaches were wonderful.

Made the team
I attended your volleyball camp in Spokane. It was my first time learning how to play volleyball. I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM YOU GUYS!!! EACH ONE OF YOU ARE GREAT! This past week has been nerve wrecking. I actually tried out for my school volleyball team. There were 40 girls trying out for the team, and only 12 of them would make it. I did my best. And guess what? My hard work paid off. Out of the 28 girls that were cut; I was one of the 12 on the team. It's all thanks to you guys! You had an amazing staff. That was caring for me. And each one of the girls there were kind enough to help me.
Thank-You!

Learned a lot
Thank you NBC Volleyball for a wonderful experience, I had so much fun and learned a lot about myself and volleyball. I can't wait until I get to come back next year!

Had a blast
I'm 11 and this was my first overnight sport camp. Because the staff was so welcoming and coaches paid so much attention to us I felt safe the whole time and had a blast. I learned so much from the coaches. I can't wait for next year!
I love NBC Camps
My camp experience at NBC camps was so much fun! The Intensity night was my favorite. I don't thing I've ever sweat so hard before. All the coaches kept everyone at camp pumped up. I definitely learned a lot over the 4 nights I was there, and if I could've, I would've stayed longer!!! Not only did we play volleyball all day long, but we also had evening programs where we learned how to be a better player from the inside out, have a more positive perspective and attitude towards our teammates and the people around us, and how to be a powerful, more electric player. I love NBC Camps, and I’m definitely coming back next year-no doubt!

Best of the best
NBC camps are the best of the best. You will not find another camp that will train and inspire your athlete as well as the staff at NBC. My daughter has attended 6 camps and she always walks away feeling grateful, rededicated, and focused.
