2026 Salem Summer Camps

High School Elite Camp

Designed for serious high school athletes ready to push boundaries and elevate their game.

Our High School Elite Camp is built for athletes who are committed to competing at a high level. Designed for rising high school players who identify as elite or advanced. Elite players are typically one of the best players on their team, but elite players are generally one of the best players on either side of the net. This camp is also designed for advanced players who aspire to play and compete at the elite level. Advanced players might not be one of the best players on the floor, but they can most certainly compete with the best and have the ability to challenge the best. This camp focuses on authentic game-like environments, maximizing reps that demand problem-solving, adaptability, and real-time decision-making. This camp is designed to help each athlete explore and discover the most effective movement solutions for their unique body and play style. Whether you're refining your attack to hit flatter and harder, developing more aggressive and tactical serving, or becoming a smarter defender, this camp is about unlocking the next level. We will be going over elite level concepts, topics, drills, and frameworks that we implement and talk about on our National level teams.

This camp is not meant for beginner level players!
