NEW!

Boys Advanced - Mini Session (3 days only) Rome, Georgia

This NEW Advanced camp will be held at Darlington Academy in Rome, Georgia.  Like our other advanced camps, (our most competitive summer camps) it is designed for the more experienced soccer player who is looking for an intensive training program, focused on individual and team tactics. Afternoon and evening games will be highly competitive. The training program includes training by position as well as skill and tactical sessions. This is a great camp for developing your game while challenging yourself against other advanced players.

Campers will train with college coaches using the same practice plans that are used with their college teams. During games campers will have the opportunity to play with and against current and former college players.  Campers should have a solid fitness base so they will be able to participate in all camp activities. Campers will also attend a special classroom session to help orient players to the college recruiting process.

Facilities

Proudly Hosted by the Darlington School Soccer Academy, this camp takes place on Darlington School’s 400-acre college preparatory campus, complete with four perfectly manicured playing fields, a 96,000-square foot athletic center, and air-conditioned dormitories. Darlington is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory school, serving high school boarders and day students during the school year.  Spanning 400 acres, Darlington’s campus is nestled around a small lake in the foothills of the Lookout Mountain Range in Rome, Ga., located one hour from Atlanta, GA and Chattanooga, TN and 2 hours from Birmingham, Alabama.

Meals

Campers will eat in Darlington School's Dodd Dining Hall, a buffet style cafeteria with a unique menu each day. Salad, sandwich, and soup bars are also available each day.

Goalkeeping

Along with the training for field players, a specialized goalkeeping session is available     

at this camp.  Individualized training and evaluation is an important element in our goalkeeper's program. Small and large group training sessions further enhance your opportunities for growth. The combination of individual and team training is what separates this camp from the "Keeper only" camps.

The Staff

All coaching will be done by college coaches, including the UAB coaching staff.  Campers will get to play with and against current UAB players.
