Volleyball camps for 2025

What will your child learn in volleyball camp? 

Volleyball camps build and strengthen skills to advance kids' and teens' games to the next level, offering training at various levels, from novice to advanced. 

Volleyball skills! Camps listed above range widely in the skill level they focus on. Camps for younger kids teach fundamental skills like serving, passing, setting, spiking,  and basics of strategy, making the game fun for kids. Camps for more advanced players will teach set plays and more advanced strategies, along with things like strength conditioning, and broadening players’ knowledge of volleyball. 

Volleyball rules. Camps offer scrimmaging and gameplay, too, of course, teaching the rules of volleyball. These include rules about scoring, boundary lines, ball hits, serving, and other gameplay. 

Communication skills. Communication is important in any team sport but notably in volleyball. Through gameplay and interaction, kids learn to listen and communicate. The emphasis is on immediacy and clarity. Encouragement and positive reinforcement are a big part of volleyball. Leadership skills naturally emerge on the court, as kids gain confidence, especially if they find their niche.  

Athleticism and fitness. Advanced camps will incorporate fitness and training but the physical activity at any level of play is beneficial for kids.
