Elite Boys Soccer Camp

The Elite Boys Soccer Camp (overnight and commuter option) is designed to provide a fun, challenging and competitive environment to ambitious soccer players. Players get direct exposure to Marquette coaches and players, in addition to other hand picked coaches. Designed for boys ages 9 - 14, the camp will feature a blend of high-level training sessions and full-sided matches, giving players the opportunity to develop their skills while applying them in game-like settings. There is also structured goalkeeping training and curriculum.

Our goal is for every camper to have a memorable experience alongside friends and teammates, while competing against some of the top youth talent in the area and throughout the Midwest.

At the core of our camp is a commitment to player development. Our staff is dedicated to helping each athlete progress to the next stage of their game, and grow as young men while honoring the investment families make by providing a high-quality, impactful camp experience. We know camp can be a highlight for kids and are excited to provide a platform for their growth, confidence and love of the sport.

Giveaway, prizes and awards will be earned at each camp. Camp will be located at the beautiful St. John’s Northwestern Academy in Delafield, Wisconsin. All campers receive a Marquette Soccer t-shirt!

• Credit cards and Venmo will only be accepted for camp merchandise and apparel during check-in on Thursday and departure on Sunday

*Please clearly label all items with the camper’s full name!

Arrangements can be made with our Health Professionals to store medications that require refrigeration.

• Ice is available to campers for medical purposes only during training hours.
• Campers should break in new shoes prior to attending camp to avoid getting blisters and discomfort during the week of camp.
• Lost and Found: The camp will not assume responsibility for lost or stolen items. Campers should clearly label all their belongings including their soccer ball. Place name and address in wallet and label cell phones and iPods.
• Cell Phones and Electronics Policies 
• Cell phones are not needed, as coaching staff will be available if a camper ever needs to call home
• Cell phones are permitted in player’s rooms but not during camp activities, training sessions, meals, or while walking to and from training sessions. It is recommended that all electronics and phones remain in the dorm rooms during camp activities, and dorm rooms are locked by players.
• Cell phones are not recommended for our younger campers. We have observed that homesickness increases with constant contact with parents and texting creates frequent miscommunication due to lack of context. It is difficult to engage a homesick child with other players and staff if they are consistently calling home. With three training sessions per day, most players cannot wait to sleep, but an iPod/headphones works best for music, etc.
• Portable speakers are not allowed.
• Camp is not responsible for players’ electronic devices or monitoring content accessed online.
• Please educate your son on not using a device with a camera in areas where players may be changing clothes, restrooms, etc. and never using a device at the expense of someone else.
• If your player is injured or having trouble at camp, please encourage them to go to a staff member as soon as possible, and please contact us. Our staff is always more effective if your player is engaged with us.
• WIFI will be available for campers to within the dorm area.

Dorm Rooms and Roommates

Players are roomed with roommates of similar age at camp. Please use your son’s true age (not their “soccer age of U_”) when registering for camp.

Camp is more fun with friends, and easier for first time kids when they know someone.  We will make sure roommates are paired together as long as both request each other when registering. Please note that only 2 players are allowed to stay in a room.
