Through out the summer, High School soccer team training is conducted by the rising captains for the fall season.?

There are six different weeks to choose from where your Varsity/Junior Varsity team can come in and play in a training camp environment.? What is special is that the captain(s), along with team and a professional mentor/coach develop a strategic plan on the first day of camp for the rest of the week.
