2010 CAL SOCCER CAMPS FOR GIRLS

We offer a variety of soccer camps that meet the needs of players from the beginner through more advanced levels. Camps are directed by The University of California Women's Soccer Head Coach Neil McGuire and his staff. The coaches bring a wealth of experience and the same coaching philosophy used at CAL with our collegiate players. We believe in providing players the opportunity to reach their greatest potential by being challenged technically and tactically, in a fun and encouraging environment.

Come join the CAL staff for a summer of soccer, friendships, and fun!

These camps are designed to improve the technical and tactical abilities of serious players involved in, or trying out for, State Cup competitive teams, premier club teams, Regional and State ODP teams, or having intentions of playing at the collegiate level. Athletes are grouped by ability and age level. The focus of the two Academy Camps is to raise the game awareness, competitiveness, and speed of play of each player.

Daily training sessions consist of:
Morning: Working on technical skills or small group strategies.
Afternoon: Session designed to improve large group and team tactical understanding.
Evening: Competitive games between teams, with the oldest group playing with the college/counselor players.

Staff: Our camps proudly offer professional/collegiate coaches who run all training sessions. Accompanying these coaches are CAL players who assist in the sessions, as well as coaching the teams in small sided competitions during evening sessions.

These camps are enjoyable for the coaches, counselors, dorm mom, and players, as we all get to know one another by living and dining in close quarters. Off the field, our dorm "mom" provides games and contests every night, resulting in awards for the participating players. In addition, the group will eat dinner one night on famous Telegraph Avenue, and enjoy the popular Skit Night.
