About Shore Volleyball Academy.
Shore Volleyball Academy was founded in 2015 as Sempkowski Volleyball LLC by the the volleyball Coaches at Georgian Court University(Coach Dan Sempkowski and Coach Jason Ulrich). It all started with the sole purpose of offering a four day long summer volleyball camp to prepare campers for their upcoming High School volleyball tryouts (the "HS Boot Camp" VB Camp). Since then, we've changed names (now Shore Volleyball Academy) and added significantly to the programming. We have grown to 7 different unique summer camps, a winter Club Alternative all-inclusive program, several general skills clinics, and even a beach volleyball program that served 90+ athletes in their 1st year. In 2020, we even started some offerings for boy's. We now work with over 30 coaches over the course of a year, some of which were even athletes in our 1st HS Boot Camp years ago.
We regularly serve athletes from Ocean County, Monmouth County, and Middlesex County, but do have athletes traveling from North Jersey, West Jersey, and Pennsylvania that travel for some of our summer camp or specific program offerings.

Recommended Programs by experience level:
BEGINNER- Any aged athlete who is either brand new to the game, or has not had any serious training (only participated in some clinics or middle school volleyball). This athlete is still working to execute the basic skills of volleyball (serving, passing, setting, hitting).
Best Programs for Beginners:
General Skills Camp, Beginner Camp - we have a separate group for beginners
Any Skill Clinic - skill/techniques oriented program
