Soccer Camps
Our summer soccer camps provide structured training for children entering grades K-8. Using our SHARP methodology (See & Hear, Attempt, Repeat, Perform), campers develop technical skills through daily drills and games. Each session includes age-appropriate coaching, inflatable attractions like water slides, and multi-sport activities. Participants receive a camp t-shirt, soccer ball, and personalized evaluation to track progress throughout the week.
Soccer+ Camps
Combining soccer with diverse physical activities, Soccer+ Camps cater to K-8 participants. Morning sessions focus exclusively on soccer fundamentals, while afternoons feature themed sports days covering baseball, basketball, and custom games like castle ball. The curriculum ensures balanced athletic development while maintaining engagement through rotating activities that accommodate returning campers throughout the summer season.
High School Clinics
Designed for grades 9-12, our high school programs emphasize advanced technical skills, tactical awareness, and physical conditioning. Elite camps include position-specific training, competitive scrimmages, and personalized coaching from former collegiate players. Participants receive fitness evaluations and one-on-one meetings with coaches to prepare for high school tryouts and seasonal competition demands.
Counselor-In-Training Program
This program offers teens aged 8-10 opportunities to develop leadership skills through mentorship and practical experience. CITs assist staff with camp activities while learning coaching techniques, conflict resolution, and child supervision. The curriculum focuses on transitioning participants from campers to junior counselors through structured training and real-world application within camp operations.
Multi-Sport Activities
Beyond soccer, we offer diverse physical activities to enhance overall athleticism. Our multi-sport curriculum includes team-building exercises, inflatable attractions, and thematic games designed to improve coordination and social skills. These activities provide developmentally appropriate challenges while ensuring participants maintain engagement and enjoyment throughout their camp experience.
