Trip Details
Attend our unique 7 day/6 night volleyball trip to the small seaside town of Boca Chica Dominican Republic. You will be put on a team with other American players. Teams are coached by NCAA Division 1 college coaches alongside Dominican coaches. Camp is open to any and all applicants within the age category. Players immerse themselves in volleyball and the local Dominican culture. Participants practice and play volleyball against Dominicans. In addition to volleyball, time is set aside to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean beach located with walking distance where players may swim in the turquoise water or relax on the beach.
A day trip may consist of visiting Santo Domingo to tour the historic Colonial Zone, visiting an orphanage or taking a catamaran to visit a government protected nature reserve.
Volleyball is used to bridge a cultural gap. Teens will gain valuable skills and confidence by visiting an environment very different than they are used to. Players are exposed to the spirited style of the Dominican players and have an opportunity to spend the week with a professional coach both on and off the court where they will hear tips and insight into the college recruiting process.
