Gustie Soccer Co-Ed Youth Camp

Due to the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 virus we have established a way for you to reserve a spot in camp without any upfront financial commitment. Simply join our FREE Wait List. When camp is confirmed to take place, you will receive an email from us giving you the ability to pay the camp dues. If at the time you still wish to attend camp, you can pay securely online. If your circumstances change and you no longer wish to attend camp, simply let us know. You won’t owe us anything.

Cancellation Policy: Before June 1st, 2020 full camp credit will be issued for any reason if you cancel your registration, except non-refundable credit card fee.  After June 1st, 2020 a $100 administrative fee will be charged to all registrants who withdraw from the camp, in addition to the non-refundable credit card fee. If campers leave during camp, a $100 administrative fee will be charged and the remaining camp refund will be prorated.

Camp Philosophy: For the past seven summers, our Gustie Soccer Co-Ed Youth Camp, run by IN2 Soccer, has been a positive resource for soccer players in Minnesota.  All campers will receive quality instruction, experience a positive learning environment and have fun during the week.  Each session focuses on individual skill training, progressing from drills to small-sided games.  We encourage players from various backgrounds and abilities to attend as we always strive to keep camp numbers smaller to allow for individual attention and coaching from our qualified staff.

Campers will be split up based on age and ability for the morning and afternoon sessions.  Evening games will be more integrated, however still split on age, level and skill set.  Some campers will even be exposed to playing 11v11 for the first time – one of the highlights of camp!

The camp staff meets after every session to ensure all campers are receiving appropriate age and skill level training.  Some movement may occur between training groups for the morning and afternoon session based on evaluation.  Teams during the evening sessions will be continually mixed up.

Each session will focus on accomplishing the following:

• Knowing when to increase tempo and when to slow the game down
• Develop the skill of reading the game, anticipation and rapid, intelligent decision-making
• Embed the art of deception
• Cultivate bi-lateral capability

Facilities: Gustavus boasts four full-size soccer practice fields with extra space if needed. In addition, campers have use of the Olympic size pool, hot tub and athletic training room with certified athletic trainers.
