What makes this camp so good is the emphasis put on FUNdamentals. Fundamentals are the foundation of any good volleyball player and to be a great volleyball player they are imperative. With a great blend of an experienced and fun coaching staff, campers are given the opportunity to learn the game from some of the areas best coaches (college and club) and the Jessup Volleyball Team. Players are put into positions and trained by high level head coaches using cutting edge techniques. Setters are given the opportunity to learn from some of the best setting coaches and Duke All American Setter Andie Shelton. Staying on the Jessup campus, gives players a chance to experience college living at its best. Jessup University has one of the best college cafes in the USA and is considered by US News and World Report as one of Californias best private schools. Jessup's campus is unique. Designed by world famous Disney architect Frank Geary, Jessup may be small but it is impressive. We look forward to seeing you this summer on the Jessup campus. Go Warriors!" - Tiger Shelton

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.
