The College Prep Camp is an advanced skills camp for high school-aged, female players who are interested in polishing their fundamentals for the college level. Many Division I players and All-Americans have prepared themselves for success in collegiate competition at this camp.
In addition to four days of top volleyball training, each camper will receive a t-shirt and a camp manual. Campers will also be physically tested for jumping ability, speed and agility.
Special sessions will focus on how to market yourself to college recruiters (letters, making videos), as well as academics, off-season training, injury prevention and nutrition.You will be exposed to the best players, coaches and training available. Many camp alums have gone on to become high school, club and NCAA All-Americans.
Camp is for female players aged 14-19.
Check-in is 1:00pm-2:00pm on July 15th. Camp ends at noon on July 18th.
Early arrivals (ie, the night before) or added night stayovers are not available.

Please note that there is a $50 additional surcharge for all "unaccompanied minors" traveling by air and train.
