Our Summer Kickoff camps and All-Skills camps are a great opportunity to practice all the skills needed for a well-rounded volleyball player. We will cover the six fundamental skills of volleyball; passing, setting, attacking, blocking, defense, and serving. Beyond the basic skills, we will also be covering systems of play and strategic gameplay through games and competitions. Players will be split by age and skill level, so whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, you’ll have plenty to learn!

This camp is designed for advanced players of all ages and backgrounds who are preparing to try out for CJVA’s Girls’ National Teams this year. Previous club experience, either with CJVA or another club, or another form of competitive volleyball experience, is preferred for players age 13 and above, but is not a requirement for any age group. However, all players should have a strong grasp of the six fundamental skills of volleyball (Passing, setting, attacking, blocking, defense, and serving).

Our staff holds the rights to reassign players who do not meet the qualifications or standards for this camp, and offer either a different camp or clinic experience, or a credit for the cost of the camp. If you are unsure whether you qualify for this camp, please reach out to your coach, or one of our master coaches.

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

CJVA Mini-camps - These condensed, two-day mini-camps each focus on one to two major skills required for any volleyball player. These camps will focus on mastering the proper technique for these skills, and progress towards more advanced concepts and in-game strategies. These camps are perfect if you’re looking to put some extra work in a specific area of your game. The Mini-camps being offered this summer are as follows:

• Our Serve and Serve Receive camps focus on the stance, lift, and contact for serving techniques such as top-spin, float serves, and jumpserves, as well as serving strategies. Players will also be taught how to respond to these varied serving techniques, including techniques for platform and overhand passing, covering the seams in serve receive, and passing from every angle on the court.
• Our Setting camps will cover proper hand and arm extensions, as well as the proper footwork for setters in various situations. We will also cover the various sets that can be used for your offense, and advanced game strategies for setters.
• Our Attacking camps will focus on mastering the footwork and arm swing techniques for attacking from various positions on the court. We will also work with players on attacking with varied tempos, and how to strategically attack in game-like scenarios.
• Our Defense camps cover proper techniques to dig attacks from various angles and tempos, how to read the opposing team’s offense as it develops, and determining the attacker’s hitting intentions.
• Our Attacking and Defense camps are great for developing well-rounded players who can thrive in both the front and back rows. We will cover the proper arm swing and footwork for attackers, as well as advanced attacking concepts such as differing tempos and attacking strategies. We will also focus on responding to attackers in real time, teaching how to dig attackers with varied tempos and strategies.
• Our Ball Control camps focus on general passing techniques, including platform angles, passing footwork, and how to apply these techniques to serve receive, freeballs, defense, and out-of-system plays.

These series of camps are built for different groups who are preparing for their school or club tryouts, whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned athlete.
