SCHOLARSHIPS
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations.

Positive experience at camp!

Great camp!
July 12, 2021: "Ashlyn loved this camp. It was well organized and she felt that she was able to improve on some skills that she needed to work on. The option of an advanced skills camp was wonderful as she doesn't really need to work on the "basics" but needs to improve on the skills she already has. Great camp! Wish they would have been able to spend the night however, it would have been great for her to get to spend more time with her new friends."

Awesome!!
July 11, 2019: Hannah was super excited to receive the 'perfect passer' certificate at the end of camp. She had recruited 3 of her friends to attend camp with her so she loved having a triple sleepover and can never get enough volleyball. The swimming was a nice addition too.

Loved the Camp experience
July 14, 2018: It was well run and my daughter had an amazing time. She came home so excited and hasn't stopped talking about it. I have heard about fun skill drills, how hard the defensive work was and just overall enjoyment for the game. Along with getting volleyball skills, the camp also opened her eyes to options available to her beyond high school volleyball. She said, "If I am lucky enough to play volleyball in college, I am definitely playing for a D3 school."

Cannot wait to come back!
July 28, 2016: I attended four volleyball camps this summer and Nike Volleyball Camp was my absolute favorite! I met some really sweet girls and I still talk to them even though camp is over. Nike VB Camp staff don't judge you, if you're not the best player, they help as much as they can! I was very comfortable throughout my stay, and the staff is sure to communicate with you about what the plan is throughout camp. I liked the small environment and that you can talk to everyone so easily. I loved Nike Volleyball camp so much and cannot wait to come back next year!!!

Best all around camp
June 26, 2016: This camp was the best all around volleyball camp my daughter has ever been to. The coach was involved, accommodations were great, communication was great, everything from registration to check out was easy and, most importantly, the level of play was great especially for the size of the camp.
— Tina S. Parent

Positive and challenging
July 15, 2015: I would highly recommend this camp to others. The camp is adjusted towards your personal skill level so that no one is left out and everyone improves. Coach Graf and her players provided insight, correction, and praise making the atmosphere positive and challenging.

Love this camp
June 28, 2015: I have been attending Nike volleyball camp at Webster University for four years now, and I cannot speak strongly enough to what am amazing experience it is for me. I first went as a VERY inexperienced player and the coaches helped me improve the fundamentals to a point where I honestly believe my abilities doubled in just half a week. As I grew as a player, camp only continued to challenge me and make me a stronger more consistent athlete. The coaches were helpful and supportive of me; even when I was one of the weaker players there I was not over looked for higher prospects. I really appreciate this camp and it has honestly become one of my favorite places to be. I will continue to look forward to attending until I am too old to do so. I cannot thank the coaches at Webster enough for what they do.

I saw significant improvement in my playing from the beginning to the end of this camp. It also works on all aspects of your game, so that you can become a well rounded player. Hope to see you next year!
