Soccer Summer Camp 2024
Camp Overview
Our Soccer Summer Camp is a week-long soccer camp – 9am to 3:30pm, Monday through Friday – for competitive players, of any gender, born in the years 2011-2015. At Soccer Summer, we ask players to explore soccer through three distinct, yet crucial versions of the game we all love: Soccer Tennis, Futsal (indoor, small sided), and The Big Game (grass field, larger teams). As we cycle through these three mediums of play over the course of each day, players are engaged in experience-driven reflection and learning, mastering the skills each game demands and recognizing perspective shifting insights that each environment provides.
Every morning, we meet on the turf field at Mission Hill Middle School, where we will spend the first 1.5 hours playing our classic game of soccer. After a 15-minute break, we then transition to the blacktop for next hour to play Soccer Tennis – a game of control, iteration, and patience. After a 30-minute lunch, players then move into the gym where we play Futsal: indoor soccer that uses lines on the court instead of playing off the walls and a smaller, weighted ball that likes to stay on the ground instead of bounce. After our final round of play, we then transition into the school’s theater, where we watch a soccer movie, play soccer-themed table games, and recover from the day.
Over the course of the week, players will earn “tickets” for winning games, working hard, and being a role model to their peers. On Friday, we will use these tickets to raffle off some Eclipse soccer gear, including a custom Eclipse soccer ball.

Soccer on the turf will be followed by an hour of soccer tennis on the blacktop and then 1.5 hours of futsal in the gym. There will be breaks in between each rotation for players to rehydrate, eat a snack, and change shoes, etc. Once futsal is complete we will walk into the school’s theater to decompress with a soccer film and some table games. Each day will cover a technical/tactical topic in depth through the lens of each soccer medium (big field, soccer tennis, indoor/futsal).
