Camp Options
Half Day:
This program is open to players of all ages. It is highly recommended for 4 & 5 year olds as they have a tough time making it through the full day. Each day in this program you will receive technical skill development, play small sided games, and scrimmage. Players will be grouped according to their age (and can be mixed in with full day players) and skill. Kids should bring water and snacks as we will be taking breaks throughout the session.

Full Day:
This camp is recommended for players 6-17 years of age. In this camp we will break down individual and team skills. Each day we will reinforce what was taught on the previous days of camp, while adding new concepts. Throughout the week we will look to teach and reinforce the use of 4-5 different moves, and double moves, to be applied during scrimmages. Each day there is a theme, and throughout the week we look to review the theme of the previous day(s) and then build in new concepts. The camp will consist of individual and team concepts and scrimmages, with an hour break for lunch. We will take water/snack breaks as needed. We will challenge and improve your game no matter what your skill level.

Specialty Camps
Inspired by my wife, Kelly, the four weeks we run this program will be set up where our female staff members are coaching our girls soccer players.
In the four weeks we run this session, it will be set up where our male staff members are coaching our boys soccer players.
This area will be taught by experienced goalkeepers and coaches. As a former professional goalkeeper and college goalkeeper coach I will bring a high level of training to this part of the camp. We will work on all aspects of the game including proper standing and diving techniques, one-on-one’s, footwork, crosses, field vision, commanding a defense, and reading the game.
An excellent program where your team is getting 15-30 hours of intensive training, the equivalent of 3-6 weeks of training in one-week. We work on individual attacking and defending skills, and many team concepts including- Possession Style Soccer, Building Possession from the Back, Systems of Play, Situational Play, Numbers Up Attacking and Defending Concepts, Attacking from the Backline, Creating in the Attacking Third, Attacking from the Flanks, Team Building (Psychological) Exercises, and Set Pieces. Working with your teammates in this type of environment will improve both your individual and team level of play. We work with your coach to develop the program. This is a great camp experience that we highly recommend.
Number of Teammates Needed to qualify:
U12 or younger teams- 7 players
U13 or older teams- 10 players
Working with high-level coaches, you will be put through the rigors of a college-like training session. This will be an intense high-end soccer regime that will challenge your Fitness, 1st touch, Skills, Speed of Play, Decision Making, and Knowledge of the Game. It is open to high-level soccer players, between the ages of 10-17
This camp is for those going into 8th grade through 12th grade only. It will be run like a college training camp with college coaches and players putting you through the paces of each session. The sessions will be very intense with an emphasis on Fitness, 1st Touch, Individual Skills, Positional Play and Team Concepts. It is a camp only offered once during the summer, and if you are a high school player this is a great camp for you to attend.
