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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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 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!
