For all camps we will start with an evening session on first day of camp and end by noon on the last day of camp. Check in will be between 2.00-3.30pm on the first day. We will have a meeting at 4.00pm on the first day for players and parents.
Residential Team Camps provide a week of training at a selected facility for all levels of serious travel teams. Typically, each camp will have teams of the same age and gender. Each team trains individually during the day with a selected Soccer Academy staff coach and then competes in matches in the evening to incorporate the training concepts into match play conditions. The training program is custom designed to the team’s development objectives, based upon a survey we ask the team coach to complete. The program is flexible and can be amended during the week based upon our staff’s observations of the team’s performance and discussions with the team’s coach.

Extended Day - this option suits people who live locally to the camp. It includes everything a Resident Camper gets apart from overnight stay and breakfast. The players arrive after breakfast (around 8.15am) and leave at around 8.30pm each day. The first day they come at registration with everyone else and the last day they leave at noon with everyone else.
You only need to pay a deposit of $150 per camp, per person to lock in this discount - remaining balance is due 7 days prior to camp starting.
EACH TEAM CAN HAVE A COACH ATTEND CAMP FOR FREE!! Any other team representatives in addition to the coach, can come for half price. Team coaches will live on site to watch your team develop and to learn from our trainers.
Residential Team Camps provide the ideal environment for teams to receive the finest training and match play experience and are a great opportunity to integrate new players, while developing team chemistry. Many teams make their plans early, so you are encouraged to reserve your space soon to ensure space in the camp you prefer.
