Kick off the Summer with an exciting camp built for skills development and match play. Each day will start with skills training with a different focus each day of the week and the second half of the day is match play/Small sided games! Players are divided into sub groups based on skill.
Our popular Own Your Touch camp will improve a player’s overall ball handling skills, passing, shooting, etc. Speed and Agility with and without the ball will be taught to improve a player's mobility, balance and quick reaction to situational changes during a practice or game. The first 5-6 yards being able to move explosively in a game are critical to winning or losing the ball. Players will be grouped appropriately by age and skill level. In the afternoon, players will have the opportunity to showcase new ideas with match play. Campers will play, all afternoon, in a structured environment with Own Touch coaches' guidance.

The Own Touch Travel Camp uniquely combines both aspects of traditional technical soccer training with fast-paced, small-sided game play. This camp will be open only to travel/competivie athletes ages 8-14. Those in attendance can expect a morning session packed full of speed and agility training, constant touches on the ball, and training drills in which players are pushed beyond their normal comfort zone. After lunch, players will be broken up into small groups where they will participate in defending scenarios, 1v1 offensive situations, and small-sided scrimmage play. During this camp players are encouraged to try new things and will be expected to compete in scenarios they may have never seen before. This camp will be challenging, but highly beneficial for those in attendance.
