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.

Camp Questions & Answers
Can I sign up for more than 1 session/program?
Absolutely! Campers are encouraged to attend multiple sessions. Each program delivers something unique to help players excel in all areas of the game. Many campers will attend more than one session to further refine their skills, compete against new players, or choose a session with a different program focus.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel for any reason up until 24 hours prior to camp check-in, you will receive a camp credit voucher for tuition fees paid that is good through the following year for any sport and is transferable to any immediate family member. Participants who DO NOT attend their registered session (no-shows for any reason) or who do not contact USSC to cancel at least 24 hours prior to camp check-in will not receive a voucher or refund.
For information regarding our cancellation policy and all other company policies, please visit USSC Policies.

Positive experience
July 19, 2019: Natalie loved learning many new skills and making new friends - especially the college athletes who assisted with the camp (Deb, in particular and Sarah, the camp director). She had an amazing experience overall and can't wait to come back next year.

Confidence booster!
July 25, 2017: This camp placed my daughter in a group based on her skill level, rather then her age, which was a huge confidence booster. She wished the camp was longer.
May 15, 2025 -
Learned new skills
It was my favorite volleyball camp. They taught me so many things new and how to improve the stuff I already knew. They made the camp fun. They gave us a lot of time to practice each skill.
May 15, 2025 -
Focused on skills
I wouldn't recommend it to friends unless they knew it was strictly about skills. Most of my friends are like me in that they value being part of a team.
May 15, 2025 -
Fun and challenging
I would recommend this camp to other people because it was fun and challenging but at the same time the coaches worked us hard and pushed us to do our best.
May 15, 2025 -
Thank you all for your hard work
July 15, 2019: Kaylin and I decided to try this camp because of the positive reviews we’ve read, the location and because she didn’t know anyone. She needed one on one time with her setting, she needed to hear from someone new what she needed to correct and she needed to build some confidence. She was tired and so happy after her first day! She loved it. She loved her setting coach, she said she could have worked with him all day! She said the whole coaching staff was amazing. She felt like she learned a lot, and would love to go back next summer. She read her evaluation sheet out loud to me on our way home and was in agreement with it all. Thank you one and all for the amazing experience you brought to Kaylin.

Fantastic
July 23, 2018: I had a really fun time at the Nike volleyball camp at Macalester college. Going to this camp taught me a lot of new things and helped me improve on things that I already knew. It also taught me things outside of just volleyball that will help me in college and in life. By going to this camp I met new friends that I will hopefully see again because I will most definitely be coming back to this camp next year.

Improved a lot!
July 23, 2018: She absolutely loved playing the last day. She met so many nice girls and had lots of fun. It was a great way to connect and I’m glad she had the best experience speaking it was her first year. She improved on a lot of skills and worked her rotations down.

Phenomenal camp and amazing coaches!
July 15, 2019: Emma liked the smaller group plan, which helped more 1 on 1 help. Emma went to camp with a somewhat ok overhand serve, when she came home she was extremely excited about nailing down her serve and started a jump serve. Emma also was excited about her passing ability which she learned at camp. She met a lot of new friends. Emma came home with a plan (fundraiser) to get her whole team down there for next year. Hopefully it works out. I would like to thank you for giving Emma the opportunity to come down and learn from your team. Also a special thank you to Coach Leach for the extra help she gave to Emma.
