Registrations are processed on a first come, first serve basis.We do have a limit on the number of participants we can accommodate for each camp. So it is recommended that you register as soon as possible.The registration deadline is 2 weeks prior to the start of each camp. This website will be updated to reflect a sold out status for any camp or clinic. You will automatically be waitlisted if you try to register for a camp that is sold out..

What happens after I register and how do I know that I am confirmed for camp?
Once we have received your registration and deposit you will be sent a confirmation email to the email address you entered with your registration with important camp information and a receipt of your purchase.   

The camp I am interested in is sold out. Do you keep a waiting list?
Yes.  If the camp you want is full, when you try to register, you will receive a message that you have been placed on a waiting list.  If a slot opens up, you will be contacted to let you know you have been added to that camp roster.  At any time, you can email us at info@saintlouisvolleyballcamp.com  to check on status.
