July 1, 2018
Coach Houser, we traveled almost 1500 miles from Texas to your College Expectations Camp. We have not had good luck with camps. This camp was an incredible experience. Everything was highly organized, the instruction was sound, and the athletes had fun. The Sweet Briar College campus was the perfect setting for this camp: The Elston Inn is immaculate and the people are friendly. The campus is stunning. The Activities Center was first-class. Most importantly, the staff at the camp was top-notch. The college coaches, the player assistants, the folks preparing the meals - all were extremely professional and courteous. My daughter had a lot of anxiety about traveling this distance to a camp, but within an hour she felt right at home. We hope to attend College Expectations next year - we thought it was the best camp experience that we have ever had. Thank you for all that you did to make this a successful event and good luck to you this year.
Collin Hays Amarillo, Texas.

This is College Expectations!
Our college coaches say, "We will work on transition/wash/game like drills. Situations where you have to score. Not only emphasize the three skills, but do them with a kill. Heavy emphasis on finishing points and not just 'playing correctly'. Let's work on terminating rallies! If they want to play in college that's what I want to teach them this summer!"
