Enhance your Game

High School Prep Camp

The Edge Volleyball Club is offering a High School Prep Camp this year to help athletes get "The Edge" at their tryouts. The High School Prep Camp is designed specifically to fit between most local High School’s summer camp and their tryouts for the fall season. This program is intended as an extension of the skills camps that run earlier in the summer to allow the players to connect all the new skills together to become a more dynamic athlete. These camps will have a combination of overall skills training as well as specialized positional training for the athletes.

Hone your skills

Middle School Prep Camp

The Edge Volleyball Club is offering two Middle School Prep Camps this year. These camps are intended to prepare young athletes for the middle school club season by offering a wide spectrum of skills training. During the prep camp our coaches will also help focus athletes on skills or positions that they would be a good fit for. Besides offering a plethora of volleyball skills training, the camp will also focus on more broader agility, strength, and conditioning used for all sports and activities. This is a great fit for athletes who plan to play club volleyball or pursue their middle school volleyball team.

2nd Contact: Not Just for Setters Anymore
At 2nd Contact: Not Just for Setters Anymore, we’re revolutionizing the way players think about the second contact in volleyball! Traditionally, the setter’s job, the second touch on the ball, is often seen as just a position for setters. But in this exciting and fast-paced camp, we’re breaking that mold. Whether you’re an outside hitter, middle blocker, or libero, this camp is for you! Through a combination of specialized drills, tactical exercises, and real-game scenarios, players will enhance their skills and awareness around the second contact. We’ll focus on improving ball control, decision-making, timing, and communication – all key elements for players in every position. The goal is to help each participant become a more versatile and dynamic player on the court, knowing exactly how to make the most out of every touch – no matter what position you play.
