Cal Boys Soccer Camp

All Reviews about Cal Boys Soccer Camp

• 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.
• My son will be back

  He learned all around soccer skills and had his first taste of dormitory life! Along with the soccer piece, being on a big time college campus and getting to practice on great facilities. First time participant and my son will be back.
• Educational and challenging

  I found this experience educational and challenging and would highly recommend to others. I am looking forward to attending next year and will also do overnight.
• Next year he wants to sign up for more than just one week

  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!
• Thank you for making this a fun experience for him!

  William loved it. He told me daily about what he learned and how fun the coaches were. He also enjoyed meeting new kids. He is looking forward to camp in July. Thank you for making this a fun experience for him!
• The coaches were enthusiastic, supportive and encouraging!

  My 10 year old had a great time at camp! The drills were fun, he learned new soccer tricks for field play, and he got helpful tips on his kicking technique! The coaches were enthusiastic, supportive and encouraging!
• We will definitely be back next year!

  Amir has participated in many different soccer camps over the past 5 years and your camp was in his top 2!!!! We will definitely be back next year! Thank you!
• I enjoyed playing with the seniors and playing well against them

  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!
• Everyone was positive and it was a fun environment

  Felt challenged Really liked the coaching Everyone was positive and it was a fun environment
• This was my son’s 4th year attending

  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.
• Positive and Supportive Environment

  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
• Personal attention

  This is a very intense 4 day camp for elite players or those wanting to bring their game to the next level. You son will enjoy the personal attention they receive.
• He loves training in the morning and playing games in the afternoon and receiving coaching from the coaches.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• It was everything expected and more

  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.
• Learning New Skills

  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.
• He enjoyed all aspects of it from what I could tell

  He enjoyed all aspects of it from what I could tell. They were totally exhausted at the end of camp each day.
• 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!
• The facilities and the campus was incredible and we thank you for a great couple days

  Other than missing the final email about location and day 2 times I thought the camp was excellent l. My son absolutely enjoyed the coaches, players and kids. 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.
• Wonderful experience for Wyatt

  Wonderful experience for Wyatt. He had a blast and really appreciate the coaching. Thanks so much for putting this together!
• Playing in the games was fun

  working with Coach Alec in the small sided possession games and then using what we learned there in the 11v11 games. Playing in the games was fun.
• He's done other camps over the years and by far this one has been his favorite

  JJ loved the Cal experience. He's done other camps over the years and by far this one has been his favorite. He enjoyed the intensity, the coaching and meeting kids from other areas. (One from Hawaii and one from the East Coast.)
• ​I learned the importance of communication

  I learned the importance of communication as a team and how to work better as a team by keeping possession of the ball in a game.The training and tactics sessions were my favorite.
• 100% Happy

  Positive Coaching staff, Great facilities & Technically very good. 100% Happy .
• 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!
• Already planning for next year!​

  My son enhanced knowledge of when to play ball with right foot and when left. He loves this camp, the soccer, the mates, the game, the balance of play and drills, the food, the coaches the dorms. Already planning for next year!
• 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!
• 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.

• 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.

  I loved the value offered by this camp. It offered full immersion in a soccer experience with excellent coaching and lots of intensity.

• Will continues to have fun and learn from the coaches. He also continues to make new friends from different clubs and areas of the country.

As a parent of someone who is just getting started, it's really wonderful to know that these young men remember their journey as well. Thank you!

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.

• Great Coaching and Accommodations

  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!

• 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.

• 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.
