Description

This is a great camp for all aspiring field players and goalkeepers who want to improve their overall soccer techniques. Our staff-to-player ratio of 5-to-1, one of the lowest in the camp industry, will ensure that each player receives valuable personalized instruction.

 

The focus at the Summer Elite ID Camp will be on advanced training and small-sided games to improve the technical aspects of your play. Goalkeepers will experience advanced individual training to improve footwork, angles, shot-stopping ability, diving, distribution, and defensive organization.

 

Additional activities may include sessions on soccer tactics, team-building, leadership, strength & conditioning, injury prevention, soccer nutrition, college recruiting, or panels about college life.  This camp will also feature one bonus virtual session.
