Team Residential Camp

This Team Residential Camp is developed to provide high school teams and their coaches to receive training, by college level coaches, that will prepare them for their upcoming seasons. The training provided will mirror that of a college team. Technical, tactical, psychological, and fitness (physical) instruction will be included in the training by our coaches. Goalkeepers will be separated during training session to receive specified instruction from our goalkeeping coach, and then incorporated into back into the tactical sessions.
