The University of California - Santa Cruz is located 35 miles from San Jose, on a beautiful coastal campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  Surrounded by gorgeous views and towering redwoods, campers are inspired to develop their love of the game and improve their individual and team skills.
 
This fun and competitive environment offers players of all abilities an excellent opportunity to interact with high-level coaches and collegiate players.  The program emphasizes small group tactics within the framework of team strategy and game play, and campers leave with a deeper and more improved understanding of the game. 

 

Session I is only available for High Potential players.  Campers who play on the varsity level for their high school may qualify for this session. Each camper who signs up for the high potential camp must submit a letter of recommendations prior to attending.

 

Specialized goalkeeper instruction is available at all sessions, but will not be the primary focus of the camp.
