Nike Soccer Camps Elmhurst University

Money and time well spent

Money and time well spent. A very good investment in your youth athlete. Great confidence builder. I observed the entire camp each day and was very impressed. Only positive feedback from my 12 year old son.

Nike Camp was Awesome!

Nike camp was awesome! We stayed in actual college dorms and got to experience amazing campus lifestyle. If you love soccer you will love Nike Soccer Camps, the players are competitive and come at every level. The instructors were young and fun and we all had a great time. We played a perfect amount of soccer each day. You make a lot of fun friends at camp and you will always want to come back.

First Time Camper

First time my son ever attended an overnight camp of any sort. He had a great time meeting new friends, and he felt very comfortable in the setting in which he was placed. He enjoyed the coaching staff very much and appreciated their instruction and insight. He also enjoyed the staff playfulness! He came home with a new vision for his participation in the game. He looks forward to putting his new education to use this fall. He would very much like to go back if possible next year. Thank you for making this such a positive experience for my son.

Extremely Organized and Prepared

Encouragement is important at all ages and I think that Nike did a great job at this. My son thoroughly enjoyed his coaches and the camp staff. He has already asked if he could go back again! This camp was extremely organized and prepared.

Worth every cent!

My son had a great time at your camp. I have never seen him so motivated and excited. He is still new to the sport but he feels that the camp made all the difference in improving his game. He shared his evaluation with his coach at his H.S. Summer league team. I was able to attend each evening match and enjoyed watching him grow as a player, and his fellow team mates. I was impressed with the level that coaches instructed the players and how they responded to the positive reinforcement they were receiving. I could tell that this was worth every cent! Your coaching staff is excellent. My son has already asked if he could attend next year and you can bet he will be there.

Training disagrees with academy training

Training disagrees with academy training. Pretty soccer with multiple touches would get you benched on many teams.

Top notch

Nike camps are top notch. The professional staff and the safe environment for my child to learn soccer and have fun at an overnight at a college was a great balance. We love these camps.

— Roman W., Parent 2009

Only good things to say

My son only had good things to say about the camp, the coaches, the food and after camp activities--he chatted all the way home about it! He was tired and a bit sore, but that means he worked hard, perfect! See you next year

— Leigh A., Parent 2009

Take it to the next level

This camp is absolutely the perfect camp for kids that want to take it to the next level! The dorms were great, staff was unbelievable, fields were top notch, even the food was awesome. My daughter's been to other soccer camps that she liked in the past but said she'd do the Elmhurst Nike Camp over anything next year.

— Leslie P., Parent 2008

VERY organized

I would highly recommend this camp. It is VERY organized. The staff/coaches are patient, encouraging, helpful, and kind. We had 3 boys participate and each coach pushed our boys just beyond their comfort level. It was neat to see their improvement. This is our 2nd year and we will be back again for sure (we planned our family vacation around this camp). Thank you to the amazing coaches/staff! You're truly wonderful!!!

Knowledgeable and supportive coaches

July 28, 2021: Coach Donnie gave the most impact in David's positive experience. He was knowledgeable, supportive and gave great skills advice which David can use at his level. David is looking forward to joining again next year and bring his younger brother as well.

— Rachel B. Parent

Making new friends

July 19, 2021: John says that making new friends that had the same interest in playing soccer was fun. I liked the fact that the camp was well organized and had some other activities like watching a movie and meeting the soccer player. Thank you!

​Coach DiTomasso runs incredible camp

July 23, 2018: Coach DiTomasso runs incredible camp. Top notch coaches, facilities, activities, and such a positive atmosphere. John loved last year so much that he came back this year, even though no friends were able to attend with him. The fact that he may not know any other kids hit him on the way out the door headed to camp. The nerves went away as soon as he arrived and felt at home. He was all smiles every time I saw him, as I attended some of the evening scrimmages. Having fun and learning more about a sport that he truly loves. What can beat that? Thank you!

— Tim K. Parent

Recommend to others

I recommend this camp to anyone who really wants to go somewhere with their soccer career. not only did I make lots of freinds and have fun but I learned a lot and got a feeling of what it's like to be a college player. Camper

Thank You!

My husband and I want to thank you and your staff personally, for the great experience our daughter had at your camp! One of the counselors took extra care of our daughter the 2nd night, as she was a bit hesitant about staying over. Her name was Ally and she was awesome, Hallie thought she was amazing!! Hallie has been playing soccer for about 3-4 years and been on a travel team for the past 2 years with Kickers in Aurora. After the camp she was so excited, winning the golden boot award was the icing on the cake for her!! In short, thanks for putting this camp on and your focus on motivation and positive attitude. It was awesome for Hallie and we will look to put her in another of your Nike camps, if not this year then next year for sure!!

— Erma N., Parent 2016

Excellent communication

The Elmhurst location was well organized and communication between parents & staff was excellent. Excellent instruction was given to my child that will help him greatly in his upcoming soccer season.

— Jody W., Parent 2015

Encouraging

David DiTomaso, and his staff were excellent trainers. They encouraged the kids to work hard on their weak areas, and the camp was very well organized. Check in was easy, and so was checkout. My son felt very safe at all times.

— Terry A., Parent 2015

Enthusiastic Parent!

Sam had a amazing experience and he could not say enough nice things about all of you and the program you organized. He is tired and sore, but that's exactly what he should be! Thank you for taking such good care of my boy! See you next summer.
