2025 UVA SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

WHICH PROGRAM SHOULD I ENROLL MY ATHLETE IN?

ALL SKILLS CAMPS

*We recommend all athletes to register for an All Skills Camp - especially if you are interested in joining us on a UVA Club Team for the 2025-2026 season.

Girls All Skills 11/12s - Intermediate

  • This program is similar to the UVA All Skills Intermediate Camp that was offered last summer. This camp is appropriate for athletes who have played for their middle school team, CYO, or have been part of our Rising Stars Program. If you have attended 6+ months of camps/clinics and have a good grasp of the fundamentals, we recommend this camp. If your athlete was on a club team previously and did not travel for competition, this program may be beneficial for your athlete. *If you were on UVA 12 Premier, this is still an appropriate choice for your player.

Girls All Skills 13/14s - Intermediate

  • This program is similar to the UVA All Skills Intermediate Camp that was offered last summer. This camp is appropriate for athletes who have played for their middle school team (B-Team), CYO, or high school JV Team. If you have attended 6+ months of camps/clinics and have a good grasp of the fundamentals, we recommend this camp. If your athlete was on a club team previously and did not travel for competition, this program may be beneficial for your athlete. *If you were on UVA 13 Premier/Regional, this may be an appropriate program for you.

Girls All Skills 15/16s - Intermediate

  • This program is similar to the UVA All Skills Intermediate Camp that was offered last summer. This camp is appropriate for athletes who have played for their high school JV Team. If you have attended 6+ months of camps/clinics and have a good grasp of the fundamentals, we recommend this camp.

All Skills 17/18s - All Levels

  • This program is similar to the UVA 17/18s All Skills Camp offered last summer. This camp is appropriate for athletes who have played for their high school team. If you have attended 1+ years of camps/clinics and are comfortable with at least executing 2 of the main skills of volleyball (passing, hitting, serving, and/or setting), we suggest this program for you. This program would be a good option for athletes that previously played on their high school JV Team or played on a non-traveling club team. *If you were on UVA 17/18 Regional or UVA 17 Power this may be an appropriate program for you. 

Girls All Skills 11/12s Girls - National

  • This program is similar to the UVA 11/12s All Skills Camp hosted last summer. This camp is appropriate for athletes who previously played on their middle school team, CYO team, or has done 1+ year of Rising Stars or camps/clinics. If your CYO/school team had a lot of success, such as postseason play or a standout winning season record, this program is appropriate for you. Athletes in this program are expected to have a decent grasp of the fundamentals and are eager to train in a team-environment. In terms of performance, athletes are expected to already be comfortable with executing 2 of the main skills of volleyball (passing, hitting, serving, and/or setting). We recommend this program for athletes who are interested in playing club volleyball the following season. *If you were on UVA 12 National this may be an appropriate program for you. 

Girls All Skills 13/14s Girls - National

  • This camp is similar to the UVA All Skills National Camp held last summer. If you previously played on your school’s “A-Team” or played on your school’s junior varsity team, we suggest this camp for you. This program is appropriate for athletes who are eager to advance their volleyball skills to perform at a higher level. Athletes interested in joining this program have aspirations to play on a competitive traveling club team next season and are expected to be comfortable training in a team environment. In addition, athletes in this camp are expected to have proficient ball control (down balls, tossing, setting, serving, etc.) as this camp will include many athlete-initiated drills to maximize reps/touches. Lastly, athletes in the camp are looking to train at a faster pace (running faster tempo, blocking quicker sets, setting a faster offense, being more strategic with their game, etc.). *If you were on UVA 12 National or 13 National this may be an appropriate program for you. 

Girls All Skills 15/16s Girls - National

  • This camp is similar to the UVA All Skills National Camp held last summer. If you were previously a starter on your school’s JV Team or was a member on the varsity team, we suggest this camp for you.

Athletes interested in joining this program have aspirations to play on a competitive traveling club team next season and are expected to be comfortable training in a team environment. In addition, athletes in this camp are expected to have proficient ball control (down balls, tossing, setting, serving, etc.) as this camp will include many athlete-initiated drills to maximize reps/touches.

CO-ED POSITIONAL CAMPS

*We recommend all athletes to pair this with an All Skills Camp and to register for more than 1 Co-Ed Positional Camp if you have more than one position/skill you’re eager to improve.

Co-Ed Setting - Intermediate

  • We recommend this program for athletes who have aspirations to be a setter and have 0-2 seasons worth of setting experience. Athletes in the program are working on making their slower tempo sets more consistent (4, 5, 2s) in terms of location, while focusing on footwork and technique to shape the ball.

Co-Ed Setting - Advanced

  • We suggest this program for athletes who have 3+ seasons worth of setting experience, whether in club or school season. Athletes in this camp are expected to consistently set slower tempo sets with ease and are wanting to improve to a faster tempo (1s, 3s, Bs, Reds, etc.). Athletes should be proficient at jump setting on-target balls and may be working on jump setting in all situations. In addition to tempo sets and technique, athletes will also be working on being offensive with dumping and being reliable in defense.

Co-Ed Passing - Intermediate

  • We recommend this program for athletes who have aspirations to become a Libero/DS, pass as a secondary position, or plays a position that requires more passing defense (outside/setter). Athletes in this program may have 1-2 seasons of game play experience. Players can expect to work on their digging, serve receive, out-of-system setting, and improving their dynamics.

Co-Ed Passing - Advanced

  • We suggest this program for athletes who have 3+ seasons worth of passing experience, whether in club or school season. Athletes in this camp are expected to know perimeter defense and the responsibilities of each back row position. Athletes should be more than comfortable calling out balls, looking through the net, talking out plays in each rally, spotting out-of-system situations, etc. Players in this camp are looking to improve their game eye-work, being more dynamic (diving, sprawling, saving balls, etc.), transitioning for each rally, out-of-system setting, and more!

Co-Ed Hitting - Intermediate

  • We recommend this program for athletes who have aspirations to become a hitter or may hit as a secondary position. Athletes in this program may have 1-2 seasons of game play or hitting experience (school, CYO, club). Players can expect to work on their timing for slower tempo sets, reading set location, blocking fundamentals/schemes, transitioning, and more!

Co-Ed Hitting - Advanced

  • We suggest this program for athletes who have 3+ seasons worth of hitting experience, whether in club or school season. Athletes in this camp are expected to consistently hit slower tempo sets with little difficulty and are wanting to improve their offensive tempo by hitting (1s, 3s, Bs, Reds, etc.). Athletes should be comfortable with set audible, familiar cross plays, transitioning from blocking-to-hitting, and decently familiar with how to hit spots. Players in this program should be comfortable with speeding up their approach and want to be more offensive versatile.


CO-ED RISING STARS DAY CAMP

  • This program is ideal for athletes who are new to the sport of volleyball. During this camp, athletes will work on the fundamentals of volleyball and developing their basic skills. In addition, athletes will have the opportunity to bond and interact with fellow players. Although this program is about introducing and teaching the sport to younger athletes, the camp emphasizes team work, support, interaction, conversation, competitiveness, and more!
