How are players divided during camp?
The first camp session includes an evaluation.  Players are divided by age and then by skill.  Our goal is to have players on the court where they can learn best and improve the most.

Can I move to a different group?
We will try to evaluate as best we can, but we also want you to have a positive experience.  If you are unhappy, please talk to the staff during camp time.

Can I stay with my friend in the same group?
If there is someone that you want to be with during the whole week of camp, please go together when we first break up.  After the initial evaluation, you may or may not be asked to move courts, based on our numbers, teaching styles and the abilities of the players on each court.  If it is more important to be together, the campers should talk with the staff during the day at camp when changes can be made.

Can I pre-register and set up a "user account" in the on-line system prior to March 2nd?

If you have an account from a prior year registration, you can log in and update information at any time using your email and password.  First time campers will need to set up the account during the registration process on or after March 2nd. The account set-up is really only one extra step.  All returning and new campers will be able to register for camp at the same time on March 2, 2010.  There have been new system updates and we have been assured that the registration process will be even smoother this year.

When is the tuition due?

We have asked for payment in full within 2 weeks of registration.  If you need to set up a payment plan, please call our office. We have monthly plans available to pay the tuition in either 3 or 4 installments.

When are the waiver and medical forms due?

We are trying to collect all forms as soon as possible, but all forms are due prior to the start of camp.  Players WILL NOT be allowed to participate unless we have a copy of the signed waiver and completed medical form.  You may submit these forms to our office by fax 425-828-6150, email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or mail  8512- 122nd Ave NE, Box 162, Kirkland WA 98033

My daughter is going in to 9th grade.  Which camp session should she come to?

We have chosen to include 9th graders in both camp sessions mainly because they are the largest number of campers to attend each year.  We are asking you to pick only one of the camp sessions.    We anticipate that there will be approximately 85   9th graders at each session, which translates to about 5 courts.  This means they most likely will be all together and we anticipate that the skill level will be similar based on playing experience.  Both weeks will have the same staff and curriculum.

Are there dorms available for camp?

We only provide dorms and meals for teams that come together to our TEAM camp session.   We do not provide housing for individuals that come to our day camps.   
There are several nearby Seattle hotels.   The Silver Cloud University Inn is just a few blocks north of the Arena and if you call  800-205-6940 please ask for the "UW volleyball camp rate".
The University does offer summer housing in the dorms  to individuals, families and groups, but that is done through the office of Housing and Dining Conference Services  and NOT the volleyball camp office.  Our contact is Penny Anne Bricker and she can be reached at 206-543-7636.

Where do I park? Should I buy a parking permit?
Volleyball Campers may park in E-1 (north of the Arena) OR in the lot adjacent to Husky Stadium E-11.

On campus parking restrictions are in effect Monday 6am- Saturday at noon.

Parking is free on campus beginning Saturday at noon through Monday at 6am.

Please follow all posted signs or stop by an attended gate for more information or to obtain a permit.

As in 2009, the parking department will again issue "drop-off" permits which allowed you to park for 45 minutes around the beginning and end of each camp session.  These permits are available to be printed from the UW Parking Services website.  beginning in June.  We will email everyone when they are available.  This permit will allow you to park and walk your camper in and out each day.    If you plan to stay longer and watch, you should buy a permit for the longer period of time.

What if I just want to drop my camper off?
Campers can be dropped off in the E-17 parking lot, closest to the southwest corner of the Arena.

We will have a UW staff coach stationed there at the beginning (from 8:45-8:55 am and   5:15-5:25pm) and the end of each session (from 4:00-4:15pm and from 8:30-8:45 pm )

Is there supervision before and after camp?
The UW Volleyball   DAY   Camp Staff will be available beginning at 8:45 am and ending at 4:15pm

The UW Volleyball  NIGHT   Camp Staff will be available beginning at 5:15 pm and ending at 8:45pm

Is there any volleyball merchandise for sale?
At registration, closing ceremonies, and a variety of times during the week, we will have our "camp store" open to sell t-shirts and sweatshirts in all different styles.

Are there scholarships available?
Per NCAA rules we are not able to offer scholarships to any camper who has completed the 8th grade.  We have donated several camp tuitions to nearby organizations for auctions.  These certificates are redeemable for NIGHT camp tuition for players entering grades 4th-8th.    Please contact our office for more information.  We do offer a payment plan to those families that need extra time to pay the tuition.

Can I bring lunch to a camper?
Campers should bring a sack lunch with them each day when they attend one of the DAY CAMPS. 
However, yes, it is possible for you to bring a lunch to them at camp.  Campers will have approximately 50 minutes for lunch. The lunch start times will vary during the 4 days of Day Camp, but will begin sometime between  11:20 and 11:45am.  The Team Camps will provide lunch and dinner to all campers and coaches.

Will there be a trainer at camp?
There will be 2 athletic trainers on the courts and the UW Training room will be available.  Trainers will be able to treat injuries and tape if necessary.  Campers should provide their own taping supplies.
