Volleyball Showcase

The website will be updated weekly with new attendees, the event will feature multiple confirmed college coaches. EXACT has the largest college network in the country, as over 1,000 college coaches from top DI, DII, DIII, and NAIA programs around the country have participated in EXACT's events. Our goal is to give athletes maximum exposure to a broad range of collegiate programs.

25 Coaches Guaranteed

Our "Academic 25" ID Camp is an intensive 3-day non-residential college training camp for rising 8th – 12th graders. The event is geared toward high-achieving student-athletes (3.0+) looking to play college volleyball at a strong academic school. As the name "Academic 25" suggests, the camp will feature a coaching staff of 25 college coaches from top academic college programs all over the country.

Over the course of the three days:

Players are equipped with the skills and resources needed, on and off the court, to achieve success on the next level. Personal interaction with college coaches is emphasized from start to finish. Players work with college coaches in training and gameplay, as well as in small group workshops off the field, and they'll even spend time interacting informally during lunch.

Players also learn from EXACT's mental training curriculum to develop the mental approach needed for the next level. Off the court, players will participate in sessions on the college recruiting process to learn how the recruiting process works and how to get themselves recruited.

Each player receives a one-on-one evaluation from a college coach at the conclusion of camp, as well as a personal Development Plan to continue growth after camp. Overall, this event is a really great opportunity to build relationships with a ton of coaches, develop your skills as a player, and understand what it is going to take to play at that higher level.

As a parent of a student athlete, this program surpassed all expectations. The staff went beyond our goal of giving not just physical but mental training. They encouraged and critiqued those skills need to make our athlete even better than when she arrived. We all loved attending, and our daughter looks forward to next year or attending another one soon. Thank you for a great experience!

I went into this camp not knowing what to expect. I came out, and I loved it. I loved the environment, direct exposure to the coaching staff, and learning new techniques from a variety of different coaches. Everyone here was very positive, and made sure to include everyone.I would definitely recommend the EXACT camp and hope attend one in the near future!

Your showcase opened my daughter's eyes that she needs to start preparing now to fulfill her dream of being on a collegiate volleyball team. Her attitude is now focused on what she needs to do to achieve her goal. The college coaches were outstanding, and were very informative about what they expect, and do with their teams. It was our first EXACT showcase, but definitely not our last one we will attend in the upcoming future. Our overall experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you for everything, and connecting us to valuable college coaches.

The EXACT Camp is my second exposure camp and it was way bigger and better than my first! It was amazing to be around girls with the same aspirations as me, hopefully I’ll compete against them in the future at the collegiate level. My experience with EXACT has been invaluable and extremely informative. It's definitely the easiest and best way to be exposed to college coaches. Thanks so much EXACT!!

I really enjoyed how I was able to meet one on one with every coach, and I was able to show my skills in front of them. I also loved how informational the coaches were about recruiting process, and how I was able to see and experience the different coaching styles. I also enjoyed how there was a coach from every division including NAIA.

My daughter, Addy (redhead, huge knee brace) was a participant last year.  As a parent, I was completely impressed with the professionalism you and your team demonstrated - not to mention your flexibility in the face of crappy weather!   I thought the session on how to do a pitch was great, and has proven as invaluable to Addy in college interviews, scholarship interviews and job interviews as it has with coaches.   The college coaches' session on D1 and D3 was great, helping to give her more focus on where she wanted to end up.   Finally, both the selection of and participation by coaches was far better than we'd anticipated (Rush Street being a short ride away!).


Of course, the proof's in the outcome.  Addy met all the coaches she'd "targeted," had a number of further contacts, 3 "official visits," 4 offers and will be attending Smith College as part of Coach Platts' program this fall.  Going in, she told me her dream was to "go to a great school and play for a great coach."  Thanks for your part in helping her make that happen.


Thank you again,

I thought the EXACT Camp really gave me the extra push I needed to become a recruited college athlete. Being able to talk face to face with college coaches made me feel in control of the process. I loved the competition and I think I improved as a player over the course of the days. It was definitely the best camp I attended all summer.

The EXACT camp allowed me to gain valuable college exposure, talk to college coaches, and receive advice about becoming a student athlete. From this camp, I feel more confident in myself because of the positive feedback I received from the coaches, and encouragement from the girls I was with. The 1-on-1 evaluation from a college coach was extremely beneficial and will help me improve to become a more dynamic player!

I was actually so nervous going into the camp, but once I got the to camp all of my nervousness went away. The coaches were all very nice and the camp was a comfortable place with everyone being very supportive. Not only was it enjoyable, I was able to talk to the coaches one-on-one, and get honest and thoughtful feedback to improve my athletic abilities and talents.

Before attending the EXACT Camp, I was very uneducated about college sports and didn't have a set school I was interested in, but this camp helped me have a better understanding of what to look for in the future.
