About Grow The Game Volleyball Academy

Camp Description

Started in 2014, our camp is designed to teach the skills, techniques, and knowledge of volleyball under the guidance of an experienced coaching staff.

Camp Directors:

  • Mike Albanese – Cherokee Boys Head Coach

  • Erika McGinley – Moorestown Girls & MVBC 12 Head Coach


Age and skill levels will be separated into appropriate groups. Drills will be designed to improve passing, serving, setting, and hitting while encouraging 5 core values: honesty, effort, attitude, respect, and teamwork (H.E.A.R.T.). Emphasis will be placed on game situations, allowing players to build confidence and maximize their presence on the court. Our goal is to provide a positive and fun learning environment for players to improve their volleyball skills. Additionally, coaches will address important factors beyond technical skills—such as attitude, effort, and teamwork—that contribute to success at tryouts and beyond. We use volleyball to help kids build character, promote good sportsmanship, and develop leadership skills while having fun playing the game.

Tryout Tune-Up Description

Pre-Tryout Training Camp

Prepare for success with our two-day intensive training camp designed to help athletes excel at upcoming tryouts, whether for club or high school teams. This camp will focus on enhancing key volleyball skills and refining gameplay strategies to ensure participants are fully prepared.

Led by Coach McGinley and Coach Albanese, who bring years of experience coaching both high school and club teams, this camp offers invaluable insights into what makes a successful tryout experience. Over the course of the two days, athletes will not only sharpen their volleyball skills but also gain the confidence needed to stand out during tryouts and give themselves the best opportunity for success.
