More than a summer camp
These are not just summer skills camps. Each day also functions as a structured pre-tryout clinic where athletes receive high-level training, competitive reps, and exposure to United OC coaches before the official tryout season.
Looking for casual drop-in play instead? Our Girls Open Gym runs at University High School - $15 for 90 minutes, 14 spots per day.
Who Should Attend?
Boys & Girls, ages 8-18
Athletes interested in club volleyball, improving before tryouts, or being evaluated for future team placement. All skill levels welcome - coaches will group athletes for the right intensity.
Coach Evaluation
What our coaches look for
Coaches observe athletes during drills and gameplay to better understand skill level, effort, attitude, and team fit. Notes from these sessions directly inform team-placement decisions for the upcoming season.
