2020 Summer Camps - At Northside Community Center

This camp is specifically designed for beginner players aged 4-6 years old. Focused on movement, basic skills, and teamwork all while learning to love the game of soccer.

The academy camp is our most popular camp, catered towards players of all levels of experience (Players will be grouped by age and ability). This camp focuses on developing skills and using those skills in game-like situations. The camp features specific skill training in the morning and small game play in the afternoon.

Our futsal camp is hosted by Coach Andy Warner and is excellent for developing skills used in the game of futsal. This camp provides an excellent learning environment all while beating the summer heat. This camp features Futsal specific tactical and technical  training in the morning and then Futsal games in the afternoon.

This camp is solely focused on developing the strikers and goalkeepers of the future. Each player will develop critical skills needed for their respective positions.  After developing their respective positions in the morning, players will then come together for some healthy competition!

Our highest level camp designed for competitive level players wanting to take their game to the next level. Coaches from the Schalke 04 "knappenschmiede" training academy join us from Germany to work with our players. This camp is limited to only the first 60 players that register.

 This camp will have three distinctions, a competitive group, a Jr. Academy group and a recreational group. All will train in a small group environment to maximize player/coach interactions and touches on the ball.

 Recreational groups will focus on the fundamentals of soccer; learning to dribble with our head up, introduce the push pass, fundamental receiving techniques, finishing (scoring goals) as well as playing fun skill games and fostering a love for the sport.

Jr. Academy groups will focus on fundamentals with the addition or basic tactical knowledge. Players will discuss specific positions in the 5v5 and 7v7 format as well as continuing to cement those core skills that have come to embody our Jr. Academy program: Push pass and receiving, movement on and off of the ball, heads up dribbling, trigger touches, varied types of finishing as well as developing creativity and two-footedness. Jr. Academy groups are for current or prospective Jr. Academy 

players.

Competitive groups will focus on getting our players back in shape before the seasons start up and pushing our players to the next level. Getting as many touches as possible with daily focuses on changing direction/pace, team tactics, striking technique (driven, instep and outside of the boot). These sessions are specifically designed to train creativity and two-footedness in our ASG athletes.
