CAMP DIRECTOR NOTE TO CAMPERS

"Greetings to all interested campers! I’m looking forward to 2025 and all of the opportunities that lie ahead! It’s time to get back into the gym and safely find ways to improve, learn new skills, and grow!

I am all about the long-term process and allowing players to make mistakes in order to get better. The goals of this camp are for the players to first and foremost have fun being surrounded by other players that want to learn and coaches that love the game. Other goals include introducing new techniques and strategies for learning how to compete at the highest level. At the camp, our drills will be fast-paced, include personalized instruction, allow for video analysis of professional athletes, and also focus on visualization and mental toughness training.

At McDaniel, our team’s mantra is “TEA&M” which stands for: “To embrace, assist, and model.” Through volleyball, we hope to introduce and share our values with players that want to grow personally on and off the court." - Jennifer Feldmann

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.
