CJV Summer Camps

Carolina Juniors Volleyball in conjunction with Sports Connection offers Volleyball camps every Summer for girls and boys ages 8-18 years AND for all skill levels. We provide high level instruction and competition in a fun environment. We provide instruction from some of the best coaches in the Charlotte area at an affordable price. Campers will be divided into separate groups based on age and skill levels during each camp. These groups will have 8-10 campers per instructor and each group will have an opportunity to work with all of the camp’s coaches throughout the week.

In addition to the Volleyball Camps, we also offer Full Day Super Terrific Fun Camps, Half Day Super Terrific Fun Camps and Sports Camps at our North and South Sport Connection Locations.

Campers may TRANSFER from one week to another, at no charge, provided we are notified (preferably by email) 10 or more days before the start of the original camp date and there is room available in the new camp date. Changes made less than 10 days before the start of the original camp date will result in a transfer fee of $40 per week. CANCELLATION of the camp at anytime, will result in an $80 fee per week. The remaining balance will be issued as a Sports Connection CREDIT to be used for another camp or program at Sports Connection, or the balance can be put on a Sports Connection GIFT CARD to be used at any time in the future. There will be no transfers or credits allowed without at least a 4 hour notification before the start of the first day of camp.

Skills covered are: forearm passing, overhead passing, setting, approaching/attacking, overhand serving, defense technique and systems, transition, communication, and teamwork.
