All of our training sessions are created to challenge soccer players of all ages, levels and abilities. The morning technical training sessions are aimed to train particular skills through repetition in different situations and degrees of pressure, i.e. dribbling, passing and receiving and finishing. The afternoon tactical sessions are designed to increase the application of the skills learned in the morning session in varying decision-making environments in areas of the field and under certain circumstances. The nightly 11v11 matches allow each camper t display the newly acquired skills in game conditions. It is a total and complete soccer education!

Each residential camper will receive a handsewn NIKE soccer ball, camp T-shirt and written evaluation.

Goalkeeper Training

We offer specialized goalkeeper training at all sessions of Camp. We believe goalkeepers develop best with a blend of specialized training in goalkeeping fundamentals and the game experience and tactical demands our league competition provides. All goalkeeper sessions will be under the direction of Warren Lipka, 1985 NCAA Goalkeeper of the Year, and UK goalkeeper coach Mike Keeney.

The sessions focus on technical and functional training by positions, along with small group and team tactics. Each evening your team will play in a competitive match in our week-long championship league. So, by the time your season rolls around, your team will have had the added benefit extra quality matches. We welcome all types of teams comprised of 12 or more players to our camps.
