More Than Camp is an international volleyball development experience that focuses on more than
just volleyball. We help athletes develop their skills on the court while also building confidence,
leadership, resilience, mindset, and life skills off the court.
Our philosophy is simple: sport is a vehicle for life. We believe the lessons learned through volleyball
can help young people thrive in sport, school, relationships, and future careers.
Our camps are open to both male and female athletes aged 11–18 years old.
Athletes of all skill levels are welcome, from those newer to the game through to elite and aspiring
collegiate or professional athletes
Unlike traditional volleyball camps, we focus on developing the whole person, not just the athlete.
Athletes receive:
High-quality volleyball coaching
Individual feedback and skill development
Mindset and confidence training
Leadership workshops
Team-building experiences
Career and pathway guidance
A supportive and empowering environment
We believe success is about more than performance. It’s about helping young people become
confident, capable leaders both on and off the court.
More Than Volley is our global athlete development platform that delivers volleyball experiences,
mentorship, leadership development, education, and opportunities for athletes around the world.
More Than Camp is one of the key experiences offered through More Than Volley.
We intentionally keep our camp numbers smaller than many traditional camps.
This is a core part of our philosophy.
We believe athletes improve faster when coaches have more opportunities to provide individual
feedback, build meaningful relationships, and create personalized development plans.
Smaller groups allow for:
More coach interaction
Better technical feedback
Stronger athlete development
Improved learning environments
More meaningful connections
Quality always comes before quantity.
Absolutely.
One of the things families consistently tell us they value most is the amount of personal attention
athletes receive.
Our coaching staff provides:
Individual technical feedback
Tactical guidance
Position-specific coaching
Goal-setting support
Development recommendations
We want every athlete to leave knowing exactly what they need to work on to continue improving.
Athletes are grouped according to skill level, experience, age, and development needs.
This allows us to:
Create appropriate challenges
Improve confidence
Increase learning speed
Ensure athletes are competing and training with peers of a similar level
Our goal is to maximize development for every athlete.
We coach all volleyball positions including:
Setters
Liberos
Outside hitters
Opposites
Middle blockers
Position-specific training is incorporated throughout camp.

athletes must perform multiple roles.

Greater all-around development
