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.

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.

My daughter loved this camp. Her skills improved throughout the camp through fantastic feedback from the coaches and we loved the written feedback at the end. She made great friends, as well. We would come back to this camp again next year! So much fun!

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.

I was impressed that it was recognized my daughter was on a team that had a lower skill set than her and then she was moved up to a better team for the tournaments.
July 15, 2022 -
My daughter didn't want to come home! She loved everything about the experience, so it's difficult to say what the highlight was. I do think the relationships with her teammates and coaches was a highlight for her.

She learned new skills!
She is so excited to now know how to serve overhand.

Positive experience
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.

Wonderful camp
Her highlight was clearly meeting new people and new friends, face to face. It is easy to friend someone on social media but this was a great opportunity to meet people face to face! She also loved being able to play with players from outside of her high school or club team.

Overall a super fun and fast pace experience. I really enjoyed the competitive play and learning new games and drills. The coaches were very prepared and experienced and also very excited to have us.

Thank you all for your hard work
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.

This camp really helped her
Anya really enjoyed the camp. She thought everyone was really friendly and felt like she made a lot of new friends. As well, she felt like she really firmed up her serve and improved her skills. She had so much fun that after 3 full days of volleyball we still have problems pulling her off the court when it was done. Thank you!

Made new friends!
She made new friends, she was very excited to continue playing after the camp and she has not played before. I played with her after camp and realized of how much she has learn and grown into the sport.
July 30, 2018 -
Improved a lot!
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.

Loved how the girls were grouped by skill level
My daughter really likes the different types of training and how they didn't just stay within their age group but were allowed to have training with older age groups.
July 25, 2017 -
Confidence booster!
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.

Saw improvement
My two daughters, who have had some volleyball experience through park and rec programs, both really enjoyed the camp, and felt their serving and setting skills really improved during the course of the week. And, they both had a great time at the camp in general.
