“We place our campers in a competitive skill instruction and situation environment that helps teach the skills we expect college players to learn and be able to perform in college someday. These soccer specific skills include four forms of shooting, 1 vs 1 defending technique, post up move series, dribble move series, box organization and framing, combination play build up and execution. Implementing these attributes has helped my teams to be competitive for championships nearly every year." - Justin Wagar
