SUMMER SHOWCASE TRAINING CAMP

When:  July 27 - 31, 2009
Where:  Firefighters Park, Troy

Camp Format
This year’s summer training camp proves to be very different than the traditional day camps that we have run in past years.  We always strive to provide opportunities for the players to get an idea of what it takes to make it at the next level of soccer.  With a new, progressive format, our teams will have a valuable opportunity to get a glimpse in to their soccer futures. 

Each team will attend one session per day, lasting 1.5 hours, with a coach they may see at the next level of their playing career.  U8-U10 players will train with top club coaches that they may see as they go through the club system.  U11-U13 players will train with some of the better high school coaches in the area.  U14-U18 players will train with local and regional college coaches.  Each group of coaches will give the players a taste of what it takes to be successful in the next phase of youth, high school and collegiate soccer. Our college age players will also get a chance to showcase their abilities as potential recruits.  For those who have committed to a university already, players will get an idea of what they can look forward to. Last year we had the following schools in attendance,
University of Michigan, Oakland University, Butler University, University of Detroit, Saginaw Valley State, Grand Valley State, Sienna Heights and University of Windsor. This year we will add the University of Kentucky, Dayton University and more.

In a traditional camp format where the players attend camp for 5-6 hours per day, fatigue often takes its toll and the curriculum needs to be adjusted to allow for recovery time.  The single sessions should provide for an environment where each new coach that the players see can prepare an intense session that is typical to the level they currently coach.
