We recommend players come dressed in comfortable athletic apparel (t-shirt, shorts/spandex) and indoor volleyball shoes or sneakers. Kneepads are highly encouraged for safety during dives and digs. Every athlete should bring a water bottle (we have water refill stations to stay hydrated). For full-day camps, pack a light lunch and snacks to keep energy up during breaks. And of course, bring a positive attitude and willingness to learn! (All volleyballs and training equipment are provided by GSI.)

Our summer camps are open to girls ages 8–18​. We welcome elementary, middle school, and high school athletes. During training, we typically group campers by skill level (and often by a combination of age/grade and experience) to ensure everyone trains with peers at a similar level. Whether your athlete is 8 years old or 18, we have a group and curriculum that will fit her age and skill needs.

Absolutely yes! GSI’s All Skills Camp is perfect for beginners and newer players – we start with the fundamentals and provide lots of support. No prior experience is required. Our coaches are patient and great at teaching the basics, so first-time players will learn proper technique from the start. Because we group by skill, beginners will practice with other beginner-level girls, using lower-pressure drills to build confidence. By the end of camp, even new players will understand the game and have a solid foundation of skills.

Definitely. We have many advanced and competitive players who attend our camps, and we make sure they are pushed to improve. Advanced athletes are grouped with other skilled players and get to run more intense, college-style drills and scrimmages. Our Elite Camp option is specifically designed for high-level training, so experienced players should consider joining that for an extra challenge. Even in the All Skills Camp, our coaches will introduce higher-level concepts and faster-paced drills for advanced groups. Your skilled player will find plenty of competition and coaching expertise to keep her improving.

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel your registration, please let us know as soon as possible. Cancellations made at least 2 weeks before the camp start date will receive a full refund of camp fees. If you cancel closer to the start (or in case of illness/emergency), we can offer a credit toward a future GSI camp or program. Our goal is to be flexible and work with families – if unexpected conflicts arise, just reach out to us to discuss options. (Note: No-shows or less than 24 hours cancellations may not be eligible for a refund or credit.) For full details, see our cancellation policy on the registration page or contact our office.
