Three sessions per day are structured in a tiered system as we work through the development process day by day. The sessions include morning technical, ball mastery, balance and coordination, followed by afternoon tactical sessions, finished off with evening scrimmages, small-sided games, and competitive tournaments. It is our belief that to fully maximize potential ability and development all players must be placed in a group that challenges them to work hard and compete, along with giving them the experience of success and accomplishment.

July 9, 2023: Had an amazing time at the Nike soccer camp with the Beestera coaches. These coaches were welcoming and were hard on us but for good reason. We had long training sessions 4 times a day, with each one our skill improved. I want to give a thank you to coach Jack especially because on the second day he saw that I was struggling with one of the drills and decided to help me. He provided me with the confidence to be a great defender during that week. This was a great first experience at sleep away camp and I would totally do it again. Thank you to all the coaches, you guys did so much work for us.
