Religious jewelry may be worn, but it should be covered or secured when possible to help prevent it from breaking or causing injury. Everything else is okay.

FAQ:
Is this camp too advanced for a true beginner?
No. Every drill includes beginner-friendly modifications so athletes can build confidence, get successful reps, and progress at their own pace.
What if my athlete is older or more advanced than others in the class?
On the first day, coaches ask athletes about their goals for camp, such as skill building, making friends, having fun with athletes their age, or gaining confidence. Athletes are then separated into 2–3 groups based on skill level, goals, and overall fit.
Camp is run in circuits, so athletes rotate through stations with their group. Athletes may switch groups throughout the week if numbers and skill fit allow.
Many drills at this level are coach-led or coach-partnered. For example, a coach may toss or set during a hitting drill instead of another athlete. This helps ensure one athlete’s inexperience does not limit another athlete’s reps, learning, or enjoyment.
What is covered in this camp? All-Skills Camps may include:
- Fundamentals: Passing, setting (forward and back), hitting, overhand serving, and communication.
- Defense: Transitioning, swing blocking, covering, and jousting.
- Offense: Tipping, front-row and back-row setting, and back setting.
- Serving: Spot serving and jump float serving. and much more...
If I sign up for multiple All-Skills Camps, will the drills be the same?
Some skills and drills may repeat because we want athletes to build consistency, but each camp is planned based on the average age and level of the group. We also take note of repeat athletes and do our best to provide variety, new drills, and different ways to work on each skill.
