2024 PSU-HHS Elite Level Volleyball Intensive Summer (ELVIS) Program

Pacific States University (PSU) and Hyunil High School (HHS) are proud to present the ELVIS Program, a high-caliber volleyball training experience designed for junior high and high school students. This unique program is scheduled during the summer break in South Korea and is tailored to elevate the skills of young volleyball enthusiasts to professional levels.

“ The 2023 ELVIS program helped me to make it on to a 16–1 team that won gold at a big tournament. The coaches and players were very welcoming and made me feel accepted and comfortable. It was challenging but definitely worth it to improve my skills. It was the best preparation for club and high school tryouts. I plan to return in 2024. ”
