TEAM DISCOUNT
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.

Enjoyed camp!
July 23, 2018: She enjoyed the independence of being away from home in college dorms and felt safe. She said her body feels stronger and more powerful just in a week. My daughter loves VB and is very competitive but she is a homebody. So the fact that she wanted to come back this year is a huge compliment to your staff and program. She already plans on coming back next summer which will it make it 3 yrs in a row. Would love to see a two week camp with weekend games!

Excited every day to learn more!
July 12, 2018: Aside from the fact that she was always excited every day to learn more and improve on playing volleyball at the camp, she enjoyed the games they had at the gym, and swimming in the pool. Whenever we pick her up from the camp, she was very excited to tell us & show us what she had learned. I was really impressed on how much she has improved even if it was only 3 days of camp (overhand serves, passing, spiking).
