JANUARY ELITE PLAYERS CAMP

Elite Boys - Ages 15 and up

January 18-20th, 2008 at UAB

The 2008 Elite Camp just ended and despite the cold, camp was a success. There were campers from 15 different states, including New York, Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky and Texas.

Schedule

Friday 5:30 - 8:30 pm

Saturday 12:00 - 4:00 pm

Sunday 12:00 - 4:00 pm

Prepare for the upcoming season. Let the UAB coaches put you through your paces. Just like college preseason. This three day mini camp will focus on attacking skills and tactics to give you and your team the edge. All players are expected to be in good shape and prepared for a vigorous weekend of activity.

Our most advanced campers will spend much of their time playing with and against our current UAB players. There is no better way to test your skills against the best. If you are thinking about playing in college, this camp will help you see your strengths and weaknesses. Many of our current UAB players attended our Elite Camp when they were in high school.

The schedule of this camp also includes a college talk. A question and answer sessions where you can find out about the recruiting process; how to get a spot playing college soccer.

This camp keeps attendance limited allowing for individual attention from the college coaches. The coaching staff will be on hand after each session to answer questions one-on-one.

This camp is for both field players and goalkeepers.

The Staff:

Coach Getman has worked hard to bring together a staff of top college coaches. Your skills and overall playing ability will advance with the experience & knowledge of our coaching staff.
