Players are put into positions and trained by high level head coaches using cutting edge techniques. Setters are given the opportunity to learn from some of the best setting coaches and Duke All American Setter Andie Shelton. Staying on the Jessup campus, gives players a chance to experience college living at its best. Jessup University has one of the best college cafes in the USA and is considered by US News and World Report as one of Californias best private schools. Jessup's campus is unique. Designed by world famous Disney architect Frank Geary, Jessup may be small but it is impressive. We look forward to seeing you this summer on the Jessup campus. Go Warriors!" - Tiger Shelton

TEAM DISCOUNT
If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount.

Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please call for details.
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.
