Excellent coaching staff
July 21, 2019: The technique tips she received helped her improve her game instantly! She wished it will be more days and wants to return next year. A great value compared to other camps that she has attended where the coaches' knowledge wasn’t as good. Here she got tips from players at the college level and it helped her raise her game. The coaches are helping teach pros and it shows!

Well run camp
July 18, 2019: Playing time was intense, fast-paced and well-orchestrated. She adored the coaches. Time in the dorms was full of making new friends and widely viewed tick-tocks. I know she will see some of these girls at national tournaments next club season and think fondly of her few days at Cal.

Great feedback
September 24, 2018: Alexia had such a great learning experience at the Cal camp. She really enjoyed the one on one feedback from all the wonderful coaches and being able to experience high performance play with the college players. We saw a noticeable difference in her play when she returned home. Thank you!
— Sherri G. Parent

Learned a lot!
August 2, 2018: The highlights of my experience included the other girls that were on my court, as they made everything more fun and we bonded really quickly. They helped me learn how to play with girls that I'd never seen before and how important communication is. Another highlight was listening to the college girls talk about what it was like to play at Cal, especially with a large amount of schoolwork. That was so fun to listen to because it really helped me get another perspective on college athletics that isn't always talked about as much but that is equally as important.
— Sarah O. Camper

Increased Confidence

Loved it!
July 20, 2018: She loved the drills and the tournament and the camaraderie. Loved playing in an actual college gym.
— Jack V. Parent
-
Loved it for the second year!
July 11, 2018: This is the second year that she has attended this camp; and this time she was apprehensive that she would not know anyone. However, she made friends immediately when she found out that other campers play for other volleyball clubs and that they remember her. She even learned how to serve the ball another way that she hadn't tried before. It would be more helpful for my daughter if the camp was more than three days; it's possible that when she joined next year for the intermediate level 2, that it may be more challenging and have more skill orientation for her.
— Regan Y. Parent

Go if you want to improve
This camp is very fun but challenging. You definitely sweat a lot and learn a lot as you go. The coaches are super nice but they know how to give good advice for the whole team as well as one on one. You should go to this camp if you want to improve or keep your skills up.

Can't wait to do it again
I had such a great time at the Cal Berkeley camp, I can't wait to do it again next summer. I'm so happy I learned to hit, set & block better and I really feel I have a better understanding of the game. I can't wait to try my new skills out on the court back at school:) I was really inspired by the Berkeley team coaches. I've always felt a little awkward cuz of my height ( I'm tall for my age), it was really awesome to see how tall the real players are and how athletic and strong they are. Thank you for the fun experience!

Loved the Coaches
Personally, the coaches are one of my favorite parts when I go to camp. I've never had coaches who care about you so much and want you to improve. They take so much time to instruct us on everything.

Great camp
