CAMP DIRECTOR NOTE TO CAMPERS
"The coaches and players of Gettysburg College would love to welcome you to our beautiful campus to attend our Nike Volleyball Camp! We use a skill-level approach to meet a player where they are in their training journey in order to give the correct instruction to make immediate improvements. We truly enjoy working with players of all ages and levels to either introduce the game or to improve upon their existing skills. You will find a learning environment with a great balance of learning, motivation, and fun at the Nike Volleyball Camp at Gettysburg College." - Leah Bernier
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.
