Have you thought about what the kids will be doing this summer? How about playing soccer? Our soccer camp, with coach Mike Davis and co-coach Justin Rosenblad, teaches the principles of soccer. Our coaches encourage individual players to develop their individual skills, and then help to incorporate these skills into a great team. Players of all skill and experience levels will work on their athletics, passing skills, defense, goal shooting and their team strategy, but most importantly, our soccer camps encourage campers to enjoy playing soccer with old and new friends.

 

We have different camps for different age groups, you can check out our camp schedule here.
