The Junior Elite Winter Camp is designed for girls, grades 5th-7th to have a precursory experience as a high-level soccer player. Campers will be put through training sessions that will in some ways mirror the sessions that the Michigan Women’s Soccer Staff runs for their current team.

Each session will involve working with the campers physically, technically, as well as expanding their tactical knowledge. These sessions will be run by the Michigan Women’s Soccer Staff and will be assisted by former Michigan Women’s Soccer Players. Training sessions will conclude with match play.

There will be goalkeeper specific training sessions. Goalkeepers will train separately for the first half of each training session and then will join the field players for match play.

We will also include a Q&A where the campers will be able to engage in Q & A regarding what it is like to be a collegiate athlete while juggling academics and athletics.

Come join us and see what it is like to be a part of Michigan Women’s Soccer.
