OTHER INDIVIDUAL CAMPS
ELITE PROSPECT CAMPS
Our goal is to provide a camp that combines high level volleyball, the recruit visit, and camp experience. This camp is designed for elite volleyball players who are seriously considering NNU as a possible destination to continue their academic and athletic careers. We hope it will provide an opportunity to learn about our programs philosophy and challenge the camper in a high level competitive environment with other like minded athletes.
NNU coaches and collegiate players will be present at each session, working closely to aid in campers' development. Campers will hone their fundamentals, learn our offensive and defensive systems, and be evaluated in a competitive setting by NNU coaches while competing with and against other elite volleyball players.
This camp also includes a campus tour, Q&A sessions with NNU players and staff, and a T-shirt. The camp is open for 9-12 graders and it is expected that the student athlete is a varsity level athlete at their high school and plays competitive club volleyball.
