ECSA Summer Camp Programs for Birth Year 2007-2018 Players
This year we will offer two levels of camp to provide a better experience for players.
Player Development is for campers of all skill levels. These camps are designed to maximize player participation and ensure each camper develops in a fun and engaging environment in all aspects of the game. Coaches will implement a wide range of technical, physical, and tactical activities with a focus on fun so campers get to improve with a smile on their faces.
High Performance is for campers looking to improve their game in a fun and fast-paced environment. These camps are designed so players leave the camp week more prepared for their club seasons. Experienced coaches will provide campers with a fresh perspective and challenge them to develop their game's technical, tactical, physical, and psychological aspects through a progressive curriculum.

6-WEEK SKILLS CAMP
ECSA 6 Week Summer Skill Academy
This program is designed to build technical proficiency, give players a decision-making framework consistent with the ECSA player development plan, and help them apply their skills and knowledge effectively in fun small-sided games. We want brave players willing to take risks, and ECSA Summer Skills Academy will give them the confidence to do so in the presence of like-minded peers who love soccer.
ECSA players will frequently have a ball at their feet. Our staff coaches work with your player to improve various soccer skills, monitor their progress, and make recommendations for future ECSA programming. Changing direction with the ball and dynamic movements to beat defenders are staples of this camp (i.e., scissors, step over, cuts, etc.). Coaches will also have time to work with players on their decision-making during small-sided games. Players will be encouraged to use their new skills in a game setting because it's not just about learning new moves; it's about knowing when to use them and why!
