For general questions about our volleyball camps please see our FAQ page.
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.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Volleyball Camp at UC Santa Cruz
69 Reviews
She loved the amount of play time, open gym opportunities, the ability to get exposure to beach volleyball and the campus experience.
I had a blast at Nike camp! The coaches and players all made for an exciting learning experience. I definitely thought that staying overnight really contributed to the team chemistry, and positive attitude throughout the entire camp! I recommend this camp to anyone who loves volleyball, is willing to learn, and can endure sore muscles!!
Nike Volleyball Camp was a truly fun and exciting experience. I got to spend an good amount of time with my friends but I also enjoyed making new friends. My skill level went up so much because I played with other volleyball players almost exactly my level. The best thing they did, though, was letting me have one of the best weeks of my life!
My second year at camp, I had a blast! Training and coaching helped me for the upcoming volleyball season at school. I will definitely return next year!
In less than a week, this camp reminded me why i play volleyball and how much I love this sport. I improved so much and had fun while working very hard.
I really enjoyed this camp. The coaches made sure you were right in your ability level, that also challenged you. They had drills to match your abilit and they made them fun:)
On Monday, my daughter asked if she could signup for next year, and on Tuesday, she asked if, next year, she could stay at the dorms. That sums up the fun she had at the camp.
Spending time with other volleyball players who were also passionate and eager; meeting new girls.
Abby learned so much and this camp has prepared her for JV tryouts. This was her 2nd year and she will be back for sure next year.
My son said he learned A LOT and made new friends. The coaches were extremely nice, helpful and encouraging. It's a very fun experience overall. He's already asking if there's winter camp so he can go again! :)
She came into camp with little to no overhand serve and walked out of camp not only with an overhand serve but an effective one. She learned strategy, rotations, and a new passion for the game. She walked out of camp a greatly improved player.
I heard through my daughters stories and she had a blast. For an advanced volleyball player, the level was good and the coaches pushed the team to try harder. I highly recommend this camp to all volleyball players of all levels. They always improve. And the coaches were amazing and so fun! Coming from Europe I was impressed by the organization of the camp. For international volleyball players it was a great experience.
Best thing for a parent whose child has never been so long away from home. Safe, fun environment where she could new skills (setting) and improve on skills she had.
With the help of the coaches at Nike Volleyball Camp, I got the help and feedback I needed to improve my skills as a player, as well as a teammate. Not only did the help from coaches improve my skills, but the encouragement of the many new friends I made at the Nike Camp boosted my enthusiasm for the game, and confidence to really have a good time on the court. I would highly recommend Nike Volleyball Camp to anyone considering about joining a volleyball team or just working on their skills. I really had a blast at this camp.
The coaches were encouraging and positive which made her feel confident even when she made many mistakes. She felt that her teammates bonded and worked well together.
This camp was really fun and helped me improve my skills in volleyball. I met a lot of amazing people and I had amazing coaches Gio and Natalie.
On Monday, my daughter asked if she could signup for next year, and on Tuesday, she asked if, next year, she could stay at the dorms. That sums up the fun she had at the camp.
Everyday was a build on to days before and by the end my child had built her skills up much higher. The soft serve was the best soft serve my kid has ever had. I think that this camp was run very well i just wish sometimes there would have been a little more time to eat slower.

As an advanced player, they evaluated me pointing out the area of weakness in my game. They stressed on what areas I need to work on to improve my game and to strive to be an outstanding person and player. They provided information on what colleges are looking for in a player, stressed that good grades too are a factor in awarding scholarships. The Santa Cruz camp was a great experience. I have participated in lots of camps locally, but found the UCSC camp the best so far. The size of campers to coaches was just right. I was at a camp that had 40 girls at my playing level, so individual instruction was limited. I made so many friends at this camp. More so than any I have attended. We keep in touch and plan on keeping in touch during our volleyball season. I hope I can again attend one of these camps. Thank you Nike VB for the camp at UCSC.
This camp is very safe. The coaches are experienced and fun to be with. I already knew the basics of volleyball but this camp taught me how to improve my skills and feel confident about them.

Great feedback on skills and learning a few new ones. Interacting with other campers was very positive, and the older girls were nice in including the younger ones, which is very important to team spirit and encouraging kiddos to continue on.

Camper's highlight: the tournament because it gave her the ability to practice the skills she had learned; Parent's highlight: the fun she had in a safe environment.
The camp was well organized and well structured. Big shout out to Coach Yelena and Coach Cliff for being such awesome mentors. Alyssa had a great time.
The program was very well organized and well structured. Big shout out to Coach Yelena who really went out of her way to make sure the kids were safe and really having a productive time at camp.
Staying overnight with friends and playing her favorite sport
Lots of volleyball at a beautiful location with great coaches and great girls!
My daughter had an absolute blast and was so proud of how much she improved in one week.
This camp was really fun and informative at the same time. You really get in shape over the course of the week while making new friends.
This camp was really fun for me. I made loads of new friends, the coaches were really friendly, and the dorms were really nice too! The instruction at this camp was great, and I ended up taking away many new skills and drills to practice at home. I've been going to this camp for two years now, and it's like it gets more and more fun every year!
The best parts of camp were the amount of playing time, the fantastic food, and spending a lot of time with his friends at a college camp.
Overall, this camp was a great experience for me. I feel that I improved my volleyball skills and I played in a setting that ws more advanced than what I usually play in.

I improved greatly within all skills: setting, hitting and most of all, passing. I feel like this camp was DEFINITELY worth my while and I learned a ton from really nice, encouraging and experienced counselors. Also, besides the fact that I learned a ton and had a really great time, the food was great and we had ample much-needed time for rest between sessions. I especially loved the open gyms after dinner- I feel like I learned a lot through game play with older and more experienced players. Overall, I loved this camp and hope to come back next year!
Nike volleyball camp at uc santa cruz was an awesome camp. It was really well organized and i learned a lot and improved so much during the week.

I would totally recommend this camp to anybody with a passion for volleyball.

Mia had a lot of fun, met new friends . She improved her spiking. She says the food was okay and there was a lot of walking in between campus . Overall, she likes the camp .
She said the food was fantastic and she had fun with her friend/roommate. Good camp for beginners.
We really appreciated the UCSC head coach taking the time to provide detailed written feedback on our son. He has attended many camps and has never received that level of feedback from an experienced head coach. Very valuable!

Being with, and meeting new friends. Fun activities (boardwalk), and nice staff. My son just wished that the walk between the gym and dorms was shorter.
