Satellite Camps
If your summer schedule does not allow you and your team to travel to our "on-campus" camps/clinics, you can bring the volleyball camp to you. We can come to your school and provide a 1, 2, or 3-day camp at your gym. You supply the net(s), the balls, and a minimum of 10 campers. Camp instruction is based on what you, the coach, need for your program - individual skills, position-specific skills, team concepts, etc. Dates fill up fast, so hurry to book your camp. Contact coach Steven Gream to book yours today.
All campers will need to bring workout gear and athletic shoes. Lunch will not be provided. All on-campus clinic sessions will be held in W.S. Scott Auditorium. All sessions are open to family and friends to watch. All camps/clinics and the tournament must be paid in full before the camp/clinic and tournament begin.
