"She LOVED the camp! She said she loved getting to play at a higher tempo and with high level teammates.
I told her I'd never seen her play that well. She said, 'Well I had such great players on my team!'
Can't thank you enough for your perseverance in helping to get her to commit to going, and your encouragement and help with the roommates!!"

Thank you for the past two weeks of volleyball. My daughter learned so much and is excited to carry it over into her season.
Have a wonderful rest of your summer!!!

"I wish we could have a coach like you. I don't mean to be disrespectful to our coach, but we lack coaching at our school.
This is why we try to keep our daughter active with camps and travel outside of high school.
She wants to play through college so we want her to continue to grow as a athlete and a player.
Thanks again for all your help. And we will try to get some training sessions in with you through the season."

July 15, 2017
" I would like to thank you for the wonderful experience I had at the high expectations camp!
I learned so many new things that I am excited to keep working on and had so much fun meeting the staff and other campers.
Hopefully I will be able to attend the college expectations next year!"

July 19, 2017
"High Expectations was fun, informative, and kept the girls interested and engaged!
Thanks for including my daughter, she had a great time."

What was the difference between
High Expectations and College Expectations.


A High Exp. camper needed to be at least:
* a rising 8th grader, with;
* three seasons of competitive ball. 

A College Exp. camper needed to be at least:
* a rising freshman, with;
* five seasons of competitive bal
l.

(A "season" does not include an equal playing time middle school team, a rec league, a county league, or a summer league. But, if an athlete doesn't have the minimum requirements, contact us. We sometimes make special exemptions for outstanding athletes....tell us about your daughter....send us video....and we may admit her!)

 


Each day there was a "Chalkboard Session".
On Day 3, Coach Katey Holley spoke on "You won't be discovered by college coaches. THIS is how you promote yourself"


The food was GREAT, thanks for Vikki Sterne! You were awesome!
