NBC Volleyball Travel Team Tour to Italy

Tour begins near Seattle, WA for a 3 day training camp, where the team will practice and prepare for their time competing together. The team will then fly out to Italy and visit cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice.

Tours are $4,800 USD for the 2027 season. If you are accepted to a team following the application and phone interview process, a $1,500 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot on the roster. The deposit will be applied toward the total tour tuition.

Team airfare is an additional cost, separate from tuition, and must be paid by January 15, 2027. Because athletes are minors traveling internationally without parents, NBC Camps will book all team flights through group airline reservations. Estimated airfare is $1,500–$2,300 per athlete. Exact costs will be announced in January and paid through the athlete’s NBC Camps account. Due to group booking restrictions, athletes must book through NBC Camps and cannot use airline miles or points.

Athletes ages 14-18 years old that are serious about their sport and play on their high school or club team. This program is not for beginner athletes.

The Italy Volleyball tour will be June 23-July 3, 2027.

This is an 11-day tour program where athletes sightsee and explore Italy, as well as compete against local club teams. Teams are lead by NBC Camps coaches and are made up of high school aged athletes from all over the US and Canada.

Athlete's must complete a travel team application and schedule a phone interview before they can be selected for a travel team. Once accepted on a team, athletes will select their session above and click "Add to Cart." A deposit secures your spot, with the balance due by May 1, 2027. After registration, additional forms will be required (health and release, uniform order form, etc), and NBC Camps will send more information about your team and helpful information such as a packing list.

Training camp takes place at the start of tour and is most often hosted at Black Diamond Camps in Auburn, WA. Training camp is an opportunity for the team to practice and prepare for their time playing together overseas. The team will be challenged through high ropes elements, group development activities, and around 4 practices during camp. Think summer camp meets NBC - campfires, high ropes course, team games, and volleyball. NBC staff and travel team coaches will provide travel safety training and leadership training as well. Training camp starts on the first day of the listed tour dates and is an intensive 2-3 day experience before the team departs for the trip!

Because athletes are from all over the U.S. and Canada, there are no tryouts or practices leading up to tour. Athletes should arrive in shape and ready to play at training camp so the team can be prepared to play together overseas.
