Join us for an amazing week of camp at Nike Soccer Camp at Rider University in Lawrence Township. Team up with camp director Justin Marriott & his True Balance Sports Camps (TBSC) staff for the ultimate soccer training camp! With a mix of traditional and modern soccer coaching methodologies, the curriculum is one that allows every camper the opportunity to continue to progress to a higher level of soccer play. Campers receive the unique opportunity to live on campus and experience the life of a collegiate athlete.

This is a program for outfield players & goalkeepers. Goalkeepers will be part of a group with outfield players, where they will receive all-round soccer development instruction. There will be GK instruction, both in this general group, in various pull-out groups during the camp, and during game play; there will not be separate GK instruction for the whole camp duration.
