2008 Soccer Summer Camps

Registration Form

Medical Form

New in 2008!
Our 2nd Field Turf field is expected to be completed by June 2008 which will give us two all weather playing surfaces to compliment our professionally maintained 9 natural grass fields.

Our World Cup, Strike Force and Academy camps will include 1 day of Futsal specific training in the Field House. The slightly smaller and heavier ball gives young players an opportunity to experiment with tight ball control skills since the bounce of the ball is limited and ability to drive the ball a great distance is minimized.

United Sports Training Center Facilities:
Unlike most soccer camps, United Sports features indoor and outdoor training spaces, so parents will never have to rearrange their schedule and pick up their child in the middle of the day just because a storm is passing through. Between our 9 natural grass fields and 2 Field Turf fields we will always have a quality playing surface regardless of the weather. We also feature an indoor rock climbing wall, on-site food preparation service and much, much more.

Summer Camp Staff:
Since the inception of United Sports in 1999, we have recognized the importance of providing top quality instructors. We feature nationally licensed coaches from the US and abroad, as well as several EPYSA ODP staff coaches.
