CAMP DIRECTOR 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 athlete's 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

Camp Questions & Answers
CAN I SIGN UP FOR MORE THAN 1 SESSION/PROGRAM?
Absolutely! Campers are encouraged to attend multiple sessions. Each program delivers something unique to help players excel in all areas of the game. Many campers will attend more than one session to further refine their skills, compete against new players, or choose a session with a different program focus.
Can I sign up for 2 sessions that are at the same time?
Please check the times for the sessions you are signing up for carefully! We do have some sessions that are during the same time block. Unfortunately, a camper cannot attend sessions that are occurring at the same time.
