Reviews

  • Inspiring Experience!

    I just wanted to say thank you for providing a positive, high quality camp for my son, during your July 11-14 camp. It was his first time to your camp and we came from Seattle really not knowing what to expect. Quality goalkeeping sessions are hard to come by in our area and I had to email and let you know what a positive impact your team of goalkeeping coaches had on my son. Your coaches not only gave him great technical training, but inspired him to come home and work hard on the new things he learned. I want to add that your speech about the importance of academics was priceless. My son really heard you and although he is a good student already, it helps to re-affirm everything he hears from me about how hard he has to work to achieve his goals. I now have an aspiring Cal Bear on my hands, which was is great! Please let your staff know what a great job they did and what an impact he is having on kids at such an important age. We will definitely be back next year! Thanks again to you and your team.

  • It was a great experience with helpful drills and advises how to improve and get better as a soccer player

    July 2, 2021: It was a great experience with helpful drills and advises how to improve and get better as a soccer player. I always wanted to play soccer for Cal Berkeley since the first time I visited the campus and watched a game. I hope that one day I will be scouted by Cal Berkeley coaches and invited to the team in order my dream comes true. Thank you for teaching me a good and smart soccer!

    • 4/5.
  • Next year he wants to sign up for more than just one week

    July 17, 2021: Max said this was one of the best camps he has ever been to. From what he told me (in my words) it was the high level skill set of the campers attending, the quality and preparedness of the staff and the programming that kept him engaged and wanting to perform at a higher level. Also it sounded like there was some camaraderie amongst the players and he even met a few new friends, which doesn't always happen when he has gone to camps in the past. Next year he wants to sign up for more than just one week. Hopefully we can get back the longer days that you have offered in the past. Thank you for having camp this year!

    • 5/5.
  • Pushed me to do my best

    The Nike Cal Soccer Camp was a great all around experience. I felt really accepted, even though I did not do the overnight. The staff there was great, and the facilities were amazing as well. The intensity was great, and the coaches made sure to push all the players to their bests.

    • 4/5.
  • I enjoyed playing with the seniors and playing well against them

    July 31, 2021: I enjoyed playing with the seniors and playing well against them. It was great having the coaches watch me play. The drills and small sided scrimmages were fun. I also went to check out the soccer field and the campus. I definitely want to go to college at Cal!

    • 5/5.
  • Promotes team building

    The coaches handled the campers in a professional way as opposed to just recreational. It gives the recreational player a real view of what is required to play in a professional league. The campers learn independence within safety guidelines. The program promotes team building. It is just an overall great opportunity and program for children of various ages.

Henry is definitely his new favorite GK coach. :) the facilities and the campus was incredible and we thank you for a great couple days. Definitely worth a long drive from LA, highly recommend.

    • 5/5.
  • Top-notch camp!

    It's my son's third year attending the camp. It doesn't get any better than this camp. My son is a gold player and every year he gets better after attending camp but more importantly he meets new kids and has a blast! The coaches are top-notch!

  • Learning New Skills

    July 23, 2019: I had a lot of fun especially playing the in games and competing against each other. I improved my passing skills by doing possession drills and I also improved my defending skills and how to tactically think.

  • It was everything expected and more

    July 24, 2021: My son John had an AMAZING experience. We traveled from Chicago to attend this camp. It was everything expected and more. My son LOVED war, having the chance to play with the older kids, and learn new skills. He’s looking forward to showing his new moves on the field. By Gods grace we will be back next year. Special thanks to Goose, Dragon, and Coach Jake.

    • 5/5.
  • Camp home pumped up

    Overall this camp was a positive experience for our son. He enjoyed the coaches and the kids and the food! He came home pumped up and really excited about soccer. He liked the camp because he was able to work on basic skills and therefore improved on his first touch and ball control.

    • 5/5.
  • Great Coaching and Accommodations

    August 2, 2019: Overall outstanding camp. Great coaching and great off field accommodations including dorms, food, etc. He learned new some new skills such as explosive high dives, knowing when to catch the ball or tip it over the crossbar and knowing which hand to do it with. Great experience from start to finish. Well run, organized, a great experience for a young athlete!

    • 4/5.
  • Venue is a plus

    My 10 year-old son has been going to Nike California Soccer Academy at UC Berkeley for the last three years and he looks forward to returning each year. It's a great mix of fun, athletic intensity, soccer skills and friends. The coaches are great and the UC Berkeley venue is a plus! Highly recommended.

    • 5/5.
  • Boosted his Confidence

    My son is 11 years old and this was his first sleep away camp. He didn't know anyone else going to camp that week, but made so many new friends by the time he left. He is a very picky eater, and so we were worried about that, but he ended up really liking the food and it wasn't an issue at all. He had so much fun and learned a lot. His coach for the week was one of the keepers on the UC Berkeley team and he was so amazed by that and really admired him. I would highly recommend this camp to others, and I will certainly send my son again next year. It was a great experience for him in both improving his soccer skills and in boosting his confidence. He can't wait to go again next summer.

  • Positive and Supportive Environment

    July 14, 2019: The culture of Cal Camp is always positive and supportive. My camper was able to increase his confidence and try new skills, even when it took many attempts to master a new trick. This camp gives youth a chance to build resilience and practice persistence in a supportive, fun community. The counselors are wonderful, and always model enjoying the process and putting safety first. Valuable life lessons that apply far beyond the soccer camp

  • This was my son’s 4th year attending

    July 15, 2018: He enjoys all of the training and playing time he gets while there. He also forms friendships with kids his age (especially since the rooms are usually grouped by age for the overnight campers) and they keep in touch after as well. Also, this was my son’s 4th year attending and the coaches recognize him and can tell if he’s made progress since the previous year. That means a lot to him because there’s a personal connection these coaches make and that’s so valuable to him. He loves it when he sees one of them at other clinics and they recognize him and take the time to chat with him.

  • Overall great camp

    Our kids have attended Soccer Camps in Southern California. The location of the camp at CSUCI was a perfect location with perfect weather. The college during the Summer is empty and the only group of people were the soccer camp kids. Parking was ample for parents. Our kids were very, very happy with the food! They now want to go and play at the college level because soccer is fun and the food in the cafeteria is great! The coaches provide positive feedback and the group of coaches are well rounded individuals with rich and unique soccer personal experiences at the many different levels.

  • Experience was exceptional

    Nike Soccer Camp was a great experience for our son. He was really motivated to learn and to improve, even after his week at camp. He was exposed to a great ambiance, with participants coming from all over the country. Some campers even traveled here from outside of the US. The camp also provided a safe atmosphere for the participants to learn, and the college/dorm experience was a plus because it gave our teenager something more to strive for in the years to come. Being coached by a collegiate staff and players gave the boys something to emulate for their upcoming college years. All in all the experience was exceptional, even the food was great!

  • Nike Berkeley camp was perfect

    The level of instruction was phenomenal. For our 10 year old son, who was experiencing his first overnight camp the Nike Berkeley camp was perfect. He felt safe and secure. The dorms were safe and well supervised. As an advanced Club Soccer Player he was challenged by the coaches. In particular he loved the competitive and well organized scrimmages at the end of each training session. He is returning next year, with his 9 year old brother too!

  • Needs better feedback

    Feedback about my children's performance from the coaches. One doesn't write feedback so I had to get it verbally in broken English. My other child's coach said the written feedback was 'thrown away' when he didn't pick it up first thing in the morning. When pushed for verbal feedback it was very generic which made me feel that she didn't really take an active interest in my son's coaching. I doubt she knew his name after a week.

  • He's done other camps over the years and by far this one has been his favorite

  • Learned how to be accountable

    The Nike Soccer Camp at Berkeley is outstanding. We have our son playing at the Gold Level in club and we feel this camp offers outstanding coaching and overall training. The location is unparalleled and the housing fantastic. This is the second year our oldest son has attended and our younger so will be attending next year as well. The boys are well supervised but also expected to manage their time properly, get to the cafeteria on time, be prepared in a timely manner for the group departure to the fields, and very importantly, how to be accountable for their kit and gear at all times. My son has made friends from New York, Los Angeles, Australia and the Philippines while attending. I enthusiastically recommend this camp.

  • Should focus on Nutrition

    I think a sports camp should have a clear vision about nutrition. There was too much sugary drinks and sodas. A camp like this has an opportunity to demonstrate sporting as a lifestyle ... not just a game. What does it take to be an athlete and what does that mean. I saw a lot of great sportsmanship which I think is great.
