High School Tune Up I & II – 9th – 12th grade – August 5, 2025; August 7, 2025
Back to separate one-day camps by request! Each day is a separate camp.

This is the perfect way to get in some very beneficial late summer work and to prepare for the upcoming high school tryouts.
***NEW***Targeted Skills Camp – 9th – 12th grade – August 6, 2025
Sometimes you just need more time to concentrate on one skill! This is the idea behind the Targeted Skills Camp. Sessions are separate camps. Come to one or both! Each session will cover only three skills allowing for a deep dive into fine tuning of skills and techniques. Session one (morning) will be PASS/SET/SERVE – perfect for setters, liberos, defensive specialists or anyone wanting to focus on back court skills. Session two (afternoon) will cover HIT/BLOCK/DIG highlighting offense skill sets while also training digging and defensive techniques. Get ready to focus and fine tune!
