Following the 2023 PVE Elite Prospect Camp (grades 10-12) and the 2023 Next Generation Camp (grades 7-9) we sent out an online survey to the parents and athletes who attended. This is what they had to say:

Parents and athletes were asked to rate the PVE Elite Prospect Camp in various categories ranging from training to dorms on whether they didn’t meet expectations, met expectations, or exceeded expectations.

Parents and athletes were given a chance to write their own comments. Here are some snippets:

“The parent session exceeded our expectations. I learned a lot of things about college volleyball, how to help my child pick a college based upon who she is and what she needs to thrive, the differences between DI, DII, and DIII schools, what the college team expects from my daughter and also a bit about recruitment. I knew so little walking in but feel very informed now.

The coaches were friendly and honest and welcomed my questions and answered them thoroughly. My daughter said that camp was rigorous in a positive way and that she learned a bunch of new techniques from the college coaches, more than she has learned elsewhere. She smiled a lot when she was telling me about her experience and she made some new friends too! It was a 100% positive experience for us all.”

“The coaches were tremendously interactive with the players throughout the camp and parents during the informational meeting. The parent information session was fantastic with coaches sharing a wealth of information on expectations and navigating recruitment.

 My daughter truly enjoyed the camp with so many college coaches attending and working with the players, sharing information and helping the players improve. She also enjoyed working with other players that have similar mindsets and the desire to play beyond high school.”
