For over 20 years, former professional player and coach Jamie Swanner and his staff have been offering summer soccer camps designed to help improve the player’s technical skills while having fun. Each day we will introduce many challenging and exciting games related to these technical skills. Coaches and parents are encouraged to attend each training session not only to watch the kids play and have fun, but to observe and take notes of the drills and games the kids enjoy the most. We pride ourselves on being extremely organized and having top quality instructors with the most up-to-date coaching knowledge.
