  • I cannot thank you enough for providing such a fantastic camp for my son! As a mom, you cannot put a price on safety and I THANK YOU for providing such a great environment! I loved the great organization and the ease of getting Will checked in and out. The experience was life-changing and I truly appreciate it! Also, I (and my son too) LOVED the Player Evaluation Card! It provided great and honest insight. It gave us a plan, so to speak, on where Will needs to work on certain skills. Thank you again for such a great camp! We will be back next year!!
  • This was the first time my son has been on his own and it was 4 hours away from home. As a parent, I was worried how it would go. After seeing the campus and the security at the dorms and listening to the instructors I felt more at ease. Then speaking with my child nightly and knowing he was tired, ate 3 meals a day, and was showering, I knew he was in good hands and doing just fine. He said he had the best time of his life and the experience was amazing! He will be attending next year! Thank you all for providing a great life experience and memories for my son!
  • Camp runs like a smooth oiled machine. This is Hunter’s 4th year. Very good camp! He loves working with the coaches and the food is fantastic!
  • I have attended the camp for two consecutive years. Each year, I learn more and build on the skills I improved on from the previous year. Feedback is instant and constructive. Good pace and structure.
  • This is a great camp! My son has been to this camp five times and plans to come back next summer. Excellent positive coaching. Highly skilled players. Lots of fun. Food at Virginia Tech is excellent.
  • My son went with two friends, and they all really enjoyed everything about this camp. Also, they've done other camps in the past, and very much appreciated having air conditioned dorms, and excellent dining, in addition to the soccer experience itself.

  • Excellent experience. This was my son's second year attending the camp! He loved every minute. He has already said he'll do it again next summer. Thank you, Nike and the experienced coaching staff.
  • Best soccer camp by far my son has ever attended. For the first time with any soccer camp, he talked about going back next year even as we were going home.
  • The camp showed my son what he needed to improve on to get a college to look at him, while also improving his soccer skills and showing him what it is like to live away from home. It made him start looking a schools to see what it takes to get a soccer scholarship. Before this camp we had to ask him to practice now he practice without us saying anything.
  • The camp was very organized, the boys were pushed and the campus experience is a bonus for boys who are looking at colleges and play soccer.
  • This was our first year at the VT camp. My son and his teammate came to the camp. They learned new tactical and technical moves they will take back to their team. They enjoyed the college life and the said the food was amazing! We enjoyed being able to watch their evening games. They will definitely return next year.
  • I would attend this camp again because the level of training is excellent and the level of the coaching is beyond anything else I have experienced. Thanks you for the great week.

  • This camp was so much fun! It was a great experience to have with my friends since a couple of my teammates attended the camp with me. I also made some new friends that I hope to see again next year. My coach was a super soccer player and he did a great job helping me to be better too. I can't wait to go back next year.
  • My son, a rising senior, had an outstanding experience at the Nike Soccer Camp at Virginia Tech. The training, coaching enthusiasm, and level of competition were excellent. He is striving to have his best year yet, and feels the camp was an excellent addition to his summer program.
  • Fantastic camp for kids! Excellent coaches and a great opportunity to improve and expand upon current soccer skills. Highly recommend this Nike camp. Our son has attended the last 2 years and has learned a great deal.
  • Best camp I've ever attended. I've even experienced ODP and UVA camp. VT camp was absolutely the best coaching I've seen. Wow!
  • We have seen a big improvement in our son's skills since attending camp. He had a great time and before the parents left they made it very clear that the staff was there for the children day or night and made sure the littler ones understood they could come and get them anytime for any reason- which made me and my son feel comfortable.

Thanks for the great experience!

    Taking over the reins of a program that faced strict recruiting restrictions, Head coach Mike Brizendine has rebuilt the men’s soccer team and has seen the most success in program history. Brizendine has made it his mission to lead the Virginia Tech program to new heights and make the Hokies into one of the top programs in the Atlantic Coastal Conference...

    Brizendine Mikesmall

    Mike Brizendine

    Camp Director

    In 2021, much of the player development that played an integral part in the Hokies success was brought into fruition when Tech had two players drafted in the top-30 of the MLS SuperDraft, including No. 1 overall pick Daniel Pereira being selected by Austin FC as the first pick in club history. Kristo Strickler was selected with the third pick in the second round by Houston Dynamo.

    From 2016-19 the Hokies had the greatest stretch in program history as they made the NCAA Tournament for a program record fourth consecutive time, earned the highest national seeding in program history (10th), won the most ACC games in a four-year time (46) and made six tournament appearances.

    In 2019 the Hokies once again made the NCAA Tournament as they claimed the 10th seed and a first-round bye. Tech would face and defeat No. 16 New Hampshire 4-1 in the round of 32 before falling late to Stanford 2-1 in their second-straight Sweet Sixteen appearance.

    James Kasak became the seventh Hokie to train under Brizendine and be drafted as he was taken with the sixth pick of the fourth round.

    The 2018 campaign was another stellar year for the Hokies as they once again surpassed 10 wins and made their second trip to the round of 16 in the past three seasons.

    The 2017 season saw Tech make their second consecutive NCAA appearance season as they defeated Air Force 2-0 in the First Round. On the way to their tournament appearance, the Hokies had historic victories over Creighton, handing the Blue Jays their first home loss on opening night since 1995 and beating No. 1 Notre Dame thanks to two goals from forward Marcelo Acuna.

    Following the 2017 season, Ben Lundgaard was taken with the 22nd overall selection by the Columbus Crew Major League Soccer SuperDraft.

    The 2016 season was one of the best seasons in recent history and marked a resurgence of the Tech soccer program. The Hokies earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, the program’s first in a decade, opening with a 1-0 victory over East Tennessee State. The Hokies then went on to defeat Charlotte and Indiana, advancing to the Elite Eight. The program ended the season ranked eighth nationally.

    Brizendine was named the 2016 VaSID Coach of the Year with junior Marcelo Acuna earning third-team All-America honors. Senior Juan Pablo Saavedra joined an elite group of former Hokies when he was drafted by FC Toronto in the 2016 MLS Draft.

    Brizendine has coached 22 players that have gone on to play professional soccer, as well as six MLS draftees. After taking over a program facing significant recruiting restrictions and coming off a four-win season, his leadership has returned Virginia Tech to one of the most competitive programs in the nation.

    After serving 10 years as a collegiate assistant coach, including five at Virginia Tech, Brizendine finally got his opportunity lead his own program when former AD Jim Weaver promoted him to the head coach on June 11, 2009.

    During the 2015 season, Brizendine’s team won five games, including an upset against then-No. 10 Xavier. Sophomore Merlin Baus led the team, tallying 15 points. At the conclusion of the season, Ricardo John signed with the professional team Central F.C. in his native country of Trinidad and Tobago.

    In 2014, Brizendine's young squad produced seven wins, including victories over Wake Forest, NC State, SIUE and UNCG. Freshman Ricardo John, who tallied 11 points, was named all-conference and all-region. Underclassmen scored all 19 goals and freshman keeper Ben Lundgaard recorded six shutouts in seeing nearly 75 percent of the minutes in goal.

    The 2013 season saw a school-record three players either drafted into the MLS or sign professional contracts following the season. The Hokies also earned eight points in ACC play, the most since 2007, behind five ties and an upset victory over No. 17 Syracuse. Under Brizendine’s direction, the Hokie defense only allowed 23 goals all season, the lowest total allowed since 2005, as well as the second first-team All-ACC selection in school history.

    Brizendine’s 2012 team earned the most wins in a season (seven) for the program since 2007. On Nov. 5, 2012, in College Park, Md., the Hokies scored three unanswered goals to top NC State in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, capturing only the second victory for the team in the tournament since the school joined the conference in 2004.

    The 2011 side played five top-25 opponents during the season, and the year was highlighted by a 1-0 double-overtime win over 2011 NCAA champion North Carolina. The victory was the program's first over a No. 1 ranked opponent since 2004.

    Under Brizendine's guidance, the Hokies have also had a great deal of success in the classroom. His teams earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award six times (2010-14, 2016-17). The award honors teams with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.

    As an assistant under former coach Oliver Weiss, Brizendine played an integral role in helping the Hokies make it to the College Cup for the first time in the program’s history. For his contributions, he was recognized as the NSCAA's Atlantic Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2007.

    Brizendine joined the Hokie staff after a successful stint with Bridgewater (Va.) College, a Division III program that participates in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC). After assisting both the men's and women's programs at Bridgewater in 2000, he became the head men's coach from 2001 to 2003, guiding the team from non-competitive status to a full-fledged Division III program. Brizendine led Bridgewater to its two best single-season records – 12-6 in 2003 and 11-7 in 2002 – for a 23-13 mark over two seasons and a .639 winning percentage. For this significant turnaround, his peers named him ODAC Coach of the Year in 2003.

    Prior to his time at Bridgewater College, he was an assistant coach at Ferrum College for the men's soccer team in 1999.

    He has also been active guiding and encouraging kids in youth soccer programs throughout his coaching career.

    Brizendine graduated from James Madison University in 1999 and earned his Master of Education from Virginia Tech in 2005.

    As a player, he lettered four seasons at James Madison University from 1995-98 and ended his career sixth in all-time scoring for the Dukes. He earned all-conference and all-region recognition during his four-year career. He also played professionally with the Roanoke Wrath (1999) and the Northern Virginia Royals (2000 and 2001) of the Division 3 league.

    Brizendine and wife Lucy, reside in Blacksburg, with their three daughters, Sloane, Reece and Millie.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Boys Collegiate Soccer Experience at Virginia Tech

72 Reviews

  • I cannot thank you enough for providing such a fantastic camp for my son! As a mom, you cannot put a price on safety and I THANK YOU for providing such a great environment! I loved the great organization and the ease of getting Will checked in and out. The experience was life-changing and I truly appreciate it! Also, I (and my son too) LOVED the Player Evaluation Card! It provided great and honest insight. It gave us a plan, so to speak, on where Will needs to work on certain skills. Thank you again for such a great camp! We will be back next year!!
  • This was the first time my son has been on his own and it was 4 hours away from home. As a parent, I was worried how it would go. After seeing the campus and the security at the dorms and listening to the instructors I felt more at ease. Then speaking with my child nightly and knowing he was tired, ate 3 meals a day, and was showering, I knew he was in good hands and doing just fine. He said he had the best time of his life and the experience was amazing! He will be attending next year! Thank you all for providing a great life experience and memories for my son!
  • Camp runs like a smooth oiled machine. This is Hunter’s 4th year. Very good camp! He loves working with the coaches and the food is fantastic!
  • I have attended the camp for two consecutive years. Each year, I learn more and build on the skills I improved on from the previous year. Feedback is instant and constructive. Good pace and structure.
  • This is a great camp! My son has been to this camp five times and plans to come back next summer. Excellent positive coaching. Highly skilled players. Lots of fun. Food at Virginia Tech is excellent.
  • My son went with two friends, and they all really enjoyed everything about this camp. Also, they've done other camps in the past, and very much appreciated having air conditioned dorms, and excellent dining, in addition to the soccer experience itself.
  • My son CJ had a wonderful experience at VA Tech camp. The coaches were very engaging, and helped him improve his game. We definitely recommend this camp!

  • Hector loved that he felt challenged with the other boys that attended the camp and had amazing coaches. He stated he feels ready for this coming soccer season.
  • My son has attended a lot of soccer camps but the Virginia Tech camp by far had the biggest return oninvestment. The experience and skills that my son gained at the camp completely outshined those of other camps. He will definitely be attending again.
  • Excellent experience. This was my son's second year attending the camp! He loved every minute. He has already said he'll do it again next summer. Thank you, Nike and the experienced coaching staff.
  • Best soccer camp by far my son has ever attended. For the first time with any soccer camp, he talked about going back next year even as we were going home.
  • The camp showed my son what he needed to improve on to get a college to look at him, while also improving his soccer skills and showing him what it is like to live away from home. It made him start looking a schools to see what it takes to get a soccer scholarship. Before this camp we had to ask him to practice now he practice without us saying anything.
  • The camp was very organized, the boys were pushed and the campus experience is a bonus for boys who are looking at colleges and play soccer.
  • This was our first year at the VT camp. My son and his teammate came to the camp. They learned new tactical and technical moves they will take back to their team. They enjoyed the college life and the said the food was amazing! We enjoyed being able to watch their evening games. They will definitely return next year.
  • I would attend this camp again because the level of training is excellent and the level of the coaching is beyond anything else I have experienced. Thanks you for the great week.

  • This camp was so much fun! It was a great experience to have with my friends since a couple of my teammates attended the camp with me. I also made some new friends that I hope to see again next year. My coach was a super soccer player and he did a great job helping me to be better too. I can't wait to go back next year.
  • My son, a rising senior, had an outstanding experience at the Nike Soccer Camp at Virginia Tech. The training, coaching enthusiasm, and level of competition were excellent. He is striving to have his best year yet, and feels the camp was an excellent addition to his summer program.
  • Fantastic camp for kids! Excellent coaches and a great opportunity to improve and expand upon current soccer skills. Highly recommend this Nike camp. Our son has attended the last 2 years and has learned a great deal.
  • Best camp I've ever attended. I've even experienced ODP and UVA camp. VT camp was absolutely the best coaching I've seen. Wow!
  • We have seen a big improvement in our son's skills since attending camp. He had a great time and before the parents left they made it very clear that the staff was there for the children day or night and made sure the littler ones understood they could come and get them anytime for any reason- which made me and my son feel comfortable.

  • I would like to see the camp take place for a longer period of time! 2.5-3 days is just not long enough when traveling from Cincinnati, OH. My son really enjoyed the experience and even though he is only going into 8th grade I think he gained an appreciation for what a great school Virginia Tech is but a cumulative 22 hours of driving in 4 days is too much. Thanks for the great experience!
