Our Summer Kickoff and All-Skills camps are designed to help players build the foundation needed to become well-rounded volleyball athletes. Throughout camp, players will focus on the six fundamental skills of the game: passing, setting, attacking, blocking, defense, and serving. In addition to skill development, athletes will also be introduced to systems of play and strategic game concepts through competitive drills, games, and fun challenges. Players will be grouped by age and skill level, ensuring that everyone—from beginners to more advanced athletes—has the opportunity to learn, grow, and be challenged.

This camp is designed for advanced players of all ages who are preparing to try out for CJVA’s Girls’ National Teams this season. Prior club experience with CJVA or another club—or other competitive volleyball experience—is preferred for players ages 13 and older, but it is not required for any age group. All players should have a strong understanding of the six fundamental volleyball skills: passing, setting, attacking, blocking, defense, and serving.

CJVA reserves the right to reassign players who do not meet the qualifications or skill level for this camp. In these cases, players may be offered a more appropriate camp or clinic option, or a credit for the cost of the camp. If you are unsure whether this camp is the right fit, please reach out to your coach or one of our master coaches before registering.

For East Hanover, the 12–14U program is for players born after 7/1/2012, and the 15–18U program is for players born between 7/1/2008 and 6/30/2012.

These condensed, two-day camps focus on mastering one or two essential volleyball skills. The camps will start with proper fundamental techniques and progress to more advanced concepts and in-game strategies. They are perfect for athletes looking to target and improve specific areas of their game.
