Highly recommend
I would absolutely recommend this camp! My daughter has gone to several volleyball camps and this was, by far, her favorite. She came home with new skills, grew as a player and was inspired by the coaches and older players.

Great experience
Nike Volleyball camp does an excellent job of organizing a week that expands the students' volleyball skills and "life" skills. The professional instruction combined with enthusiam from the college players creates an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. The opportunity to be a part of the college campus and volleyball gym is exciting and makes dreams seem like reality for the high school student. Our daughter's volleyball experience at UNC was excellent and her learnings and friendships are invaluable. My advise to other parents is "Just Do It"..... sign up now and don't miss the opportunity.

Could not have been better
If you are serious about raising your game, expect to be challenged every practice, appreciate hands on one-on-one instruction, integrate your individual skills into a team game while having a phenomenally fun time with others sharing the same drive, determination and ability to be the very best...head straight to Chapel Hill for Joe Segula’s Nike camp. My daughter's experience could not have been better.

Extraordinary
The Nike Volleyball Camp at the University of North Carolina was an extraordinary experience. The coaches were the best and the facilities were top-notch. I even made some life-long friends while I was there. I can't wait to go again next year.
