Commitment to Team Work
This Nike camp built a very strong commitment to team work and good sportsmanship while maintaining a serious and competitive environment.
— Dustin S., Camper 2012
-
Needs healthier meals
Too much scrimmaging without instruction. Not enough drills on footwork and passing. Not enough discipline. Trainers are too young some or most were in high school. Nutrition was horrible. A lot of fried food not too many healthy choices. A sports camp should consider teaching in promoting proper nutrition not serving hamburgers pizza and chicken fingers.
— Becky M., Parent 2016
-

null
My son was only able to be at camp for 2 days due to an unknown severe allergic reaction but they took care of him above and beyond. Emily the trainer was fantastic with communicating with me and took great care of my son as well as the counselor that went to the hospital. Nike even gave me a credit for the time my son missed for next years camp. My son loved the short amount of time he was able to participate and can't wait to go back next year

Extremely well run

Absolute Best Time
The Nike Camp at Sacred Heart University was extraordinary. My son is an advanced level soccer player and said he had the 'absolute best time' ever. His statement reflected the soccer instruction, soccer coaches, soccer atmosphere and the entire camp experience in general. He has participated in other 'soccer boarding camps' so he has a lot to compare. He 'loved' attending the Nike Camp and will participate again next summer.
— Gabriel C., Parent 2015

Game Winner
July 1, 2019: Small sided games enhanced his ball control 10:1 ratio was small enough coaches were more relateable based on their age. Evan's highlight was scoring the winning goal in the last full field game.

He likes it, had fun the first day complained that it was slow and took a while to get setted up and going
He likes it, had fun the first day complained that it was slow and took a while to get setted up and going. Also a few kids complained about muscle issues not sure if they had proper warm up before getting pushed on the first day. After that they seem to liked it more and was told more fun and more organized. So if i have one improvement to recommend is better organization and warm up the first day.
