This is a great opportunity to showcase your talents in front of top tier college coaches at the next level, it not only allows you to showcase your strengths but also helps you improve upon your weaknesses due to the direct feedback from college coaches. I feel like a better volleyball player after this one day camp!

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!

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!!

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!

Parent
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 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.
Stephanie Denton
Player
Everyone was amazing and helpful, I enjoyed the exposure to college coaches! I learned so much more during this one day camp than I did during a 3 day camp I attended last year. I would definitely recommend EXACT, it helped me to become a better player overall!
Mariana Rodriguez
Player
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.
Emma Lucciola
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.

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.

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,
