ABOUT FORMATION LLC

Laura Schott founded Formation LLC to create an option for kids to learn & enjoy soccer. "I developed Formation after identifying a gap in the market that can uniquely be filled by people that have played at the high levels and coaches that have coached at the high levels. The collegiate, national, and international levels are the ones that inspire the young players, so it only makes sense that they should have access to mentors, players, and coaches that know first hand what those levels are actually like."

Formation offers a unique opportunity in youth soccer, focusing on fundamentals and segmenting camp to meet kids where they are. Laura Schott has developed a specific curriculum focused on fundamentals and breaking down the how, when, where, why's of skills and how those skills relate to the real in-game experience.

"We focus on not just fundamentals, body awareness, and body control, but also discuss mentality. Application of these skills to the game in real time is a necessity for success that unfortunately many platforms miss."

Having successfully applied these skills at the highest levels of sport, Formation's founder offers a special opportunity for beginning players and highly motivated players alike to advance their game while having fun.

GENERAL SKILLS

Perfect for young athletes in the earlier stages of their soccer journey! This camp focuses on building foundational skills in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. Through games and age-appropriate drills, campers will develop their confidence, teamwork, and love for the game—all while having a blast!

ADVANCED SKILLS

This camp is designed for athletes ready to take their game to the next level. It's perfect for players who are serious about honing their skills and thriving in a focused learning environment. Sessions will involve concentrated drills and advanced techniques, with activities lasting up to 20 minutes.

We want every player to have a positive and productive experience. If a camper finds the pace or focus level of the Advanced Skills Camp challenging, no problem! We’ll happily transfer them to our General Skills Camp, where they can continue building their skills in a fun, supportive setting.

*NOTE: If you believe your camper should be in a different skill level than the age requirement listed, please add a note at check-out and mention it to the camp director on day 1.
