Directors Note to Campers

“We are excited you have chosen to train with us at Nike Volleyball Camps this summer. It is so much fun for camp staff to share our experience and knowledge in helping you improve your skills, mindset and understanding of the game. The camp philosophy is to teach technique through the development of an athletes mindset. This allows a volleyball player to gain knowledge, make good decisions and learn to perform under pressure. Two way communication between campers and staff allows us to work together with each camper in their development while having fun” - James Finley
