TEAM/GROUP DISCOUNTS
If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please call for details.
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.

In the summer of 2011, a state-of-the-art air conditioning/heating system was installed in the Bollman Center.
Camp is held in the Bollman Center and the LifeSports Center.

She is ready for next summer!
June 21, 2019: She really enjoyed meeting new friends and with/against different girls. She loved Coach Mal! Staying in the dorms was a good team bonding experience.

Highly recommend this camp
June 21, 2018; Always busy-no down time-focused on volleyball. Love the report card feedback she received. Made new friends. Kept our daughter busy-good coaching, interested and motivated teachers-made sure our daughter played all positions, and learned what areas she needs to focus on to do better. I think it was great that from when she checked in she had to be ready to play in an hour. This helped set the tone for the program. It was all business, no lackadaisical standing around because coaches weren't prepared. Our daughter really enjoyed her experience at this camp. Highly recommend this camp.

Not a negative thing to say!

Helpful drills!
June 20: 2017: They are good at making sure we do lots and lots of volleyball and some conditioning but I like that they pushed us to our limits without overstepping the boundaries. They also have lots of helpful drills that I'd love to utilize for when I practice volleyball back at my school.

I would recommend!
June 19, 2017: Albright College's Nike Volleyball Camp aided in the honing of my skills, further preparing me for my first year of varsity volleyball at my high school. Furthermore, I have played over five years of volleyball and Coach Kennedy as well as her staff helped me achieve success and growth in my volleyball skills, all while providing great fun. Moreover, the staff proved helpful and knowledgable in the sport, which fueled my passion for the game and the tactics of it. In summation, Albright College's Nike Volleyball Camp proved as a great experience and I would surely recommend this camp to beginners or even highly skilled players. Well done Coach Kennedy and staff and thank you kindly for your help and time.

Helped me develop the skills I need
June 25, 2016: I loved this camp; I came without knowing anyone and left with new friends. I only had 1 year of volleyball under my belt before attending and the coaches were awesome at helping me develop the skills I will need for the upcoming season. I will definitely be returning next summer! Thank you Nike for an awesome camp!!

Great camp
June 29, 2015: The staff at Albright College works well with every individual. They mix things up every day with games, drills, or exercises to help us improve. They bond well with every camper which, I think, helps the campers learn.

Looking forward to next year
Love the enthusiasm that my daughter came home with after camp. She was looking forward to VB practice starting this season, being able to show off her new, improved skills. Thank you to all the staff and coaches for making her first time at Alright College Nike Volleyball Camp 2014 a great experience. Looking forward to next year!
