The Camp will be led by Varsity Head Coaches, Alvin Alexander and Josh Andone, with the help of assistant coaches and varsity players. Players will be divided by grade/ability level for the week. Each day will begin with work on the basic and fundamental skills for soccer. This will then lead into individual and team competitions for the second half of the day. Each boy/girl will receive a camp T-shirt for the week. Players should bring their shin-guards for competitive games. We hope to see your son/daughter on the court for a fun soccer camp!

Team Specific Training Sessions(Rising Grades 8th - 12th; Boys and Girls)

June 3-27 Mon, Tues, Thurs See times belowJuly 8-25 Mon, Tues, Thurs

Sessions will be grouped together based on teams for rising grades 8th-12th. Workouts will be geared towards the specific needs of each particular sport. The program is designed to give three training sessions per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). We ask that if a student will be participating in multiple sports in the coming school year, that they sign up for the sport that will begin first in the year. They may still attend any of their remaining sports, but we ask that they stick to only one set of workouts. Each team has a designated time slot that will remain the same throughout the summer. The information for this summer is listed below. This is free for TFA athletes.

*Wednesdays will be used as a makeup day each week. Please email Trey Tyler if you need to makeup a workout.
