"Meghan was in First Kicks and she LOVED it. Coach Jack had such patience with the children in his group. He made the games fun and the kids were right into it. We had one of the hottest weeks on record here and Jack managed to keep the kids entertained, laughing and hydrated all at the same time. His ability to help the kids based on their personality traits was amazing."

A longer and slightly more advance program for younger children yet still all the First Kick ethics are included. Young players learn and develop their individual skills within fun games and practices. Sessions remain upbeat and fun but emphasis is placed on learning correct techniques ensuring no bad habits are picked up at an early age. Players are also exposed to small sided games where a basic understanding of rules and strategy is introduced.
"I enrolled my 2 sons in your soccer camp, one is 5and one is 4. They have never played organized sports. I would like to thank Coach Scott for the way he worked with my sons. As a public school administrator and a former coach myself; I know good instruction when I see it. He was very organized and wastes little time transitioning between drills. His patience is infinite, and he nurtures a love for the game within the kids. I have observed him encouraging the kids as well as redirecting them when they are off task."

Emphasis is placed on individual skill development and mastery of core techniques through individual drills, small group practices and coached games. This program also includes our famous World Cup Tournament. During the World Cup campers are split into teams (countries) and they represent that country throughout the week in scrimmages and challenges. The week long competition encourages our "Champions of Character" and concludes on Friday during our Closing Ceremony.
“The boys loved getting to know the coaches and after camp every day they talked about how their teams did in the World Cup games. Both of my boys’ ball handling skills and passing have improved as a result of the camp, but more importantly the coaches’ enthusiasm for the game rubbed off on the kids and they are so excited about playing the game. They made the camp so much fun for everyone while emphasizing sportsmanship and learning.”

A more advanced camp for serious players, focusing on game-related techniques, tactical development and coached match play. This program begins with the skill development of the half day camp and then pushes players past there limits as the players skills are tested in tactical situations, game related scenarios and competitive scrimmages.
"My son loves soccer and was so excited to participate in the full day camp. I was a little nervous about him participating in such a lengthy camp but it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I can really tell that he has learned some new techniques because he has been outside practicing them. The coaches had those kids working, and learning.
