Florida Gulf Coast University Soccer Camps

The Gulf Coast Soccer Academy is based on a simple coaching principle: young people learn and develop skills more quickly and effectively when they are having fun. Our main objective is to teach each player how to fully reach their potential as a soccer player. We have designed our learning exercises and functional training games to develop individual techniques, skills and team tactics through creative and motivating sessions. All of this will be achieved in an environment of positive reinforcement and communication designed to enrich each individuals total soccer experience. Every exercise at the camp will be conducted in relation to the ball. Each and every player will develop a better appreciation of how to run, play and think as a total soccer player.

Campers will take a short 10-minute walk from North Lake Village to the FGCU Soccer Complex or recreation fields for all but a few soccer-related activities. Note that counselors and coaches walk with the campers to the field.
What does each camper receive?
Each camper receives a camp t-shirt and a soccer ball.

Please make sure that your camper and his preferred roommate have written each other down on their respective registration forms. Don’t wait too long though, as your session may close.
