So much stronger on serve
My son's serve went from a liability to winning points consistently by day two. The coach broke his mechanics down instead of just having him serve over and over.

Join us for the Motive Edmonton Boys Volleyball Camp! Train with professional and collegiate coaches who live for the game and know how to bring the best out of every athlete. Our goal at this camp is simple: improve skills, gain confidence, and develop a lasting love for the sport!
You're not just booking two days of training. You're hoping he comes home more confident, with sharper technique, and excited about volleyball.
He trains in his own age group, pushed alongside boys at his stage. His coaches have lived the game: Seth Birkholz, plus guest college and pro players. Apart from the training, there is a Q&A with elite players, autographs, and photos you will both get afterward.

Name: Seth Birkholz
Middle Blocker — MacEwan University Griffins (U SPORTS)

Quick note: our pro & collegiate coaches occasionally have game or travel commitments, so the exact coach shown isn't 100% guaranteed for every single session. On the rare occasion that happens, your child is coached by another vetted pro or collegiate coach of the same caliber.

Actual reps, not just lines
The coach to player ratio was 1:5 so he was touching the ball constantly instead of standing around waiting his turn. Big difference from the camps we've tried before.

He can pass now
Passing was his weak spot and the coaches worked with him individually until it improved. Noticeable difference at his next club practice.

Felt safe diving for digs
With all the floor diving I was a little nervous at first, but they taught proper form before anything else and kept a close eye on the boys the whole time.

Had to dial back the intensity
Great coaching but it was seriously intense, we ended up asking them to ease up on his reps the last day so he wasn't too wrecked for his club games that weekend. Good problem to have, just something to plan around.

My middle blocker loved it
He plays middle and usually gets lumped into generic drills at other camps. This one actually trained his position specifically.

Great first camp
He'd never played organized volleyball before and I worried he'd be lost. They grouped by level so he wasn't in over his head at all.

Pushed my club kid
He plays club and I figured he'd coast through this. Nope, they ran him harder than his own practices. Came home exhausted and buzzing.

Super organized
Clear emails ahead of time with everything we needed to know. Drop off and pick up ran on schedule all three days.

Refund was painless
He had a scheduling conflict for one day and they refunded it with a single email, no back and forth at all.

Bring knee pads
Excellent coaching, only wish they'd mentioned knee pads ahead of time. He was diving on a hard gym floor all three days.

The Q and A really got to him
He got to ask a college player how recruiting works and it clearly stuck with him. He hasn't stopped talking about it since.

Checkout felt professional
I'm usually cautious with sites I don't know, but everything felt legit, confirmation came right from their own address.

Honest, no scholarship hype
Appreciated that they didn't try to sell the college pathway. Just straight talk about what it actually takes to get there.

My shy kid opened up
He's quiet and I worried he'd keep to himself. He came home with new friends and way more confidence on the court.

Fun without the yelling
Competitive but nobody got yelled at for a missed serve. He usually hates drills but was excited to go back every single day.

Personal coaching, not generic drills
Small groups let the coach know his rotation and what to fix, not just generic reps for everyone.

Staff I trusted
Asked a lot of questions about supervision before booking and got clear answers to all of them. Staff were paying attention the whole time.

He finally gets rotations
Rotations were always confusing for him and by the end of camp it clicked. His club coach noticed the difference right away.

We'll be back
Great value and attentive coaching. He came home wanting to play more, not less. Already signed him up for the next one.
Marisol H.

His blocking timing clicked
He could never time a block right and by the end of camp he was actually stuffing hits. Coach worked footwork with him specifically.

A bit pricey but worth it
