About Volleyball:  Summer Camps

Camps For Improving Skills and Performance

DIGS is pleased to post information regarding girls summer volleyball camps in New Jersey, the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, and the United States.  We will be continuously updating this camp page for Summer 2010 volleyball camps.  If you wish to have your camp added to this page or if you see errors,  please contact us.

Note that there are literally hundreds of good camps out there.  We focus on those that are closer to home or that have asked to be listed on our site.  However, several links below provide access to other aggregators of camp listings, so this page is a fairly good starting point to explore camps nation-wide.

The programs below are promoting camps via website information for summer 2010 (DIGS update as of May 27, 2010):

  • GEVA sponsors an excellent High Performance Volleyball Program as part of the national USA Volleyball High Performance system.  This is truly an elite group of players from our region.  Some of DIGS's top players have participated and benefited greatly.  Multiple age groups are selected, who train in New Jersey or downstate New York, then compete at a national event.  Tryouts are Saturday, May 8 and Sunday, May 16, 2010 - both dates have multiple locations.


  • USSC Sports Camps - Volleyball - An insanely large network of camps (for volleyball and other sports).  For volleyball, camps run under the brands of Nike, NBC, and McCracken Camps.  As far as we know, this is the largest consolidated listing of volleyball summer camps available across the United States.  It appears that many of the programs are generally locally run (e.g., by a college or university) and that this network is a marketing resource.  A great way to visit a college of interest, too, while playing volleyball.


  • The Great Lakes Center.  We're talking Illinois, here, as well as Texas, Ohio, Michigan, Oregon (the list just keeps growing).  It offers a plethora of general skills and specialized camps and draws participants from across the country.  The program is considered top-notch and their setting camps are consider among the best in the country!  Many dates listed.


  • World Volleyball Camp.  A well regarded program (also known as Huguenot).  Our own Scott Mose had a big hand in its inception.  Held at the YMCA World Volleyball Training Center in upstate New York (Huguenot, NY).  This year three week-long sessions for girls run from July 25 through August 13, 2010, with weekend "skills camps" that allow a student to stay for multiple weeks.  They also are offering two boys volleyball camps this summer as well.

  • PowerZone Volleyball Camps, another day camp conveniently located in Denville, New Jersey.  The summer 2010 schedule includes day and evening programs.


  • Montclair State University Day Camp.  Individual Skills Camp July 26th - 28th, 2010.  Team Leadership Challenge Camp August 1st - 4th, 2010.


  • Maria Nolan's Developmental Volleyball Camp.  A very strong local day program with a long tenure, led by Maria Nolan, New Jersey's winning-est volleyball coach, and an excellent staff of coaches in the field.


  • Kean Cougar Elite Girls Volleyball Camp at Kean University in Union, New Jersey. An overnight camp runs from July 25 - 28, 2010, for girls entering grades 8 - 12.  The camp brochure is available off the webpage.

  • Nyack College Volleyball Camps.  Yet another convenient day camp in downstate New York.  Will run from August 2 - 6 and August 9 - 13.


  • Rutgers Volleyball Camp.  Part of the Nike/US Sports Camps network, this overnight camp will be held June 25 - 28.  It will be led by Rutgers head coach Jeff Werneke.

  • Georgian Court University Summer Volleyball Camp.  A day camp runs from July 5 - 9, 2010.


  • Russ Rose - Volleyball Express @ Juniata College in Pennsylvania -- for those wanting a very strong, intense program.  Russ Rose is "only" the head coach of the 2007, 2008 and 2009 NCAA Division I girls volleyball champion, Penn State (this was Russ's fourth NCAA championship).  Camps run from June 20 - 23, July 18 - 21, and July 25 - 28, 2010.


  • Penn State Volleyball Camp.  A solid program for those looking for volleyball and a college campus-based experience (e.g., some non-volleyball activities as well).  Individual camps and team camps are offered.  Well regarded and includes Russ Rose as director (he's everywhere in Central PA).  The individual instructional camp session will be held June 27 - July 1, 2010.  Other camps are for full teams attending with their coaches.

  • Pacific Coast Volleyball Camps - Hey!  The west coast could be a "totally rad" idea.


Other:

You may also want to explore a commercial website for girls and college female volleyball players, entitled Volleyball Voices.  We we cannot vouch for this site; however, this particular web page lists a tremendous number of Division 1 College volleyball camps for summer 2010.  Note that the webpage sometimes runs poorly in IE8, so you may have to copy the URL and paste it into another browser, such as Chrome.

Also, Seton Hall Summer Camps.  Ran a volleyball camp in 2008 and 2009.  However, the 2010 list of camps for all sports has not yet announced a 2010 volleyball camp.
