Based on Coach Nicholas’ USA Volleyball National & High Performance Team Coaching:  Flat out the best volleyball “training” camp for the female player that is ready to prepare for and be successful at the college level!  Athletes attending this camp should have USA/JVA Junior Travel Club Team and/or high school varsity experience and are committed to playing at the collegiate level.  This is not a beginner camp.  This is a comprehensive training environment for female athletes to develop all phases and skills of their game and then integration of these learned skills into competitive play. 

• Designed for the player with intention to play collegiate volleyball
• Participants should have USA/JVA club experience
• Focused on the development of all skills integrated with movement and competitive play
• Camp fee includes a special t-shirt for this camp, boarding, and meals according to residency. *Do not wear your camp t-shirt until Friday Afternoon for the Camp picture*
