TEAM/GROUP DISCOUNTS
If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. 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.

July 14, 2022: The coach that ran the camp and his team were great. My daughter said she learned more this week than she'd learn her entire season. She said she was pushed to work really hard and that she loves volleyball even more now. She's also happy because she feels like she knows what she needs to work on to make her a stronger player.

August 13, 2023: The facilities are spectacular and the presence of the coach and other leadership is very impressive. This camp was so organized and I felt fully confident that my camper was safe and well cared for every day. My child didn't know anyone (didn't sign up with a friend) but quickly made friends as was put at ease by the staff. My child loved interacting with players from the CMS team and appreciated that camp was reserved for girls.
