Director's Note to Campers

Welcome to the 2023 Nike Volleyball Camp at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore! Are you hoping to hone in your skills for high school tryouts? Do you want to learn what it takes to train at a college level? Or are you looking for an introduction to the game? Well, this is the place for you! College Camp experiences like this are invaluable to athletes of all levels. Your young athletes will get to bond with people from around the country (sounds like college eh parents?) while learning skills in the sport we all love.

At the University of Maryland Eastern Shore we use the latest technology to help foster a learning environment. We use tools such as slow motion video analysis to help fine tune technique on serving, VERT jump monitors to help athletes understand their physical measurements through a practice and set goals for improvement, and speed radar guns to help athletes know how hard they’re hitting their serves or attacks. Our goal here at the Eastern Shore is to help our college athletes prepare for the next stages of life, whether that’s pro volleyball after college and or the professional world. We would like the opportunity to help your athletes do the same. Our camp focuses on learning about volleyball, life, and how to better yourself - all while enjoying the process. We look forward to this camp every year, but particularly this year where we all need a chance to connect, learn, and bond with our community. - Trevor Callarman

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation is not provided. Campers are responsible for getting to and from camp on their own. There is no supervision before or after camp hours so please make arrangements to pick up your child on time.

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.
