SCHOLARSHIPS
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.
Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.

Positive reinforcement and positive attidutes
My daughter has limited exposure to Volleyball through a local club. This camp not only increased the level of instruction she was able to receive, but she also benefited through positive reinforcement and attitude instruction. Additionally, there were many coaches who all had impressive skill sets and credentials which allowed her to look up to them on many levels. I will absolutely sign her up for next year and look forward to it.

My daughter came home happy about camp every day. She was also very thankful that she was moved to an older group during day one based on her skillset. That kind of flexibility improved her experience.

Lots of fun!
Jaine said that she enjoyed the team bonding activities in conjunction with the volleyball skill instruction. It gave her a nice break to re-energize and get to know others in the camp. My 12 year old daughter loved the format with team activities, learning skills and the location at Elmhurst College. The leadership of the camp were very organized and inspiring. Thank you for making her first sleep away camp experience amazing. We will be back!

LOVE IT! Great job!
The interaction with the staff! The amazing attitudes of Coach Hall and Coach Lindsey. They were never to busy to answer a question! They were phenomenal. Now onto the highlights for Shyra. She loved the practices and the ability to learn an overhand serve! You have a loyal customer. I will be camping out for next year to get our slot!

Amazing
She said she made many friends. Too bad none of them live close but she will be snap chatting with them. Said everyone was friendly. She is one who normally works out at school and is in good shape but she said she really got an extensive one here. The very next two weeks she is in summer school volleyball, so she should be more than ready. She said that she would like to go next year, so that is apparently a positive. Great coaches!!!

The experience of having a great team and she had a lot of fun. The great thing was everyone got playing time. The tournaments and scrimmaging was a great experience. The extra activities were also very fun for her. It was a bit warm in the gyms this year. Maybe having some fans would be good for next year. The coaches were great. They really showed you the correct way to do something and they really had knowledge of the sport. I also like the fact that they were hands on.
