Oregon State Volleyball Camps
We hope you sign up for one of our camps offered this summer. Please see some of our frequently asked questions below, and if you have further questions please do not hesitate to reach out.
Which camp is appropriate for me?
This is one of our most frequently asked questions and the answer varies. Choosing a camp depends on what the camper wants to get out of coming to the camp. If a camper wants to focus on one particular area or skill, a Specialized Skills Camp is appropriate for them. If a camper wants a well-rounded, more broad training session, consider one of our All-Skills Camp (either elite or beaver) but keep in mind the Elite All-Skills Camp is the highest level camp we offer.  Also consider what level your camper is with the camper's school goals for the fall. In general, the Elite Beaver All-Skills Camp draws older and more competitive campers who are looking to play volleyball at the next level while the Beaver Volleyball All-Skills Camp draws campers of all ages looking to improve their overall skills of the game. No matter which camp you choose, campers will be split by skill level and age and will be challenged within their assigned groups.Â
Do campers have to have any previous volleyball experience?
No previous volleyball experience is necessary. Players do not need to be a member of a school team or club nor do we make any distinctions among those players at camp.
How are campers divided at the camp? Â What is your evaluation session?
Campers are divided by the coaching staff based skill level and age.  We believe this is the best way to facilitate learning in a relaxed and fun environment.  We don't put a first-year player with a court of experienced players. On a similar level, we don't put a 12 year-old with a group of 18 year-olds. While these are just examples, these are the basic principles that we adhere to when dividing campers into groups.
How do I sign up for camp?
All registrations are completed and paid online. Â
How many kids are in each camp? What's the coach to camper ratio?
The coach to camper ratio is approximately 18 campers per 2 coaches. At least two coaches will be on each court at all times.
Who stays with the kids at the overnight camp? Is safety a big concern?
The safety of OSU campers at all camps is our first priority.  Campers will always be with a partner, a group, a coach, etc.  In the dorms, there will be an appropriate ratio of coaches to campers on each floor based on the amount of campers that sign up. The OSU Coaching Staff does routine checks through the dorms in the evenings to ensure security and safety.
