Improvement
Vogelsinger has not only improved my skills but the defensive coach taught me how to be a better center defender and how to organize the field and communicate effectively. So I've learned people skills plus playing skills which gives me the confidence of being a total athlete. Thanks!!

Pushed me every day
Volgelsinger was a great camp. It will make you a better player. I thought the entire coaching staff did an excellent job. Not only did they push me every day but they were also very approachable. It was no walk in the park (beleive me!) but the coaches were very encouraging and inspiring, which isn't the case with a lot of other camps I have attended.

Definitely want to return
I really loved the Vogelsinger camp. It was such a great experience meeting people from all over the world - both coaches and players. I have made new friends from all over. I really enjoyed the level of play in the scrimmages and the training. I definitely want to return next year and for more than 1 week. It was a great time!

Very impressed
Lots and lots of soccer! Only dedicated kids and professional coaching. Very impressed.

Level of participants not high enough
In overall, the level of participants were not high as much as I expected so was not challenged as much as I wish. Also not even sigle laundry machine in my building worked and I am very disappointed that you still assigned kids in the building without fixing them.

Best Camp!
It’s the best camp there is. The coaches are very well qualified and teach very well. It has been one of the best experiences of my life and I would return at any time.

Attending Again Next Year
My son's skill and confidence level improved noticeably after one week at Vogelsinger. He respected the abilities of his coaches, was comfortable in the dorm and on the fields, and made good friends. He will attend again next year.

Find activities for when it rains
I think you have to figure out something better to do with the kids if it rains- leaving them in their hot rooms for hours seems like a waste. Also, I think you could integrate swimming more often- these are hot hot days and the kids would benefit from that I think. Some of these kids are young- they might need a bit more direction.

Take it to the Next Level
Vogelsinger took my game to the next level. I am not going to lie, it is terribly challenging but the friends you make and the fun you have make up for that. If you are going to go (which you should) I would suggest the two week camp. Not only do you get a week more training at the best soccer camp in America but you also get to create stronger bonds with your friends.

No interaction parents/coaches
I was surprised there was no interaction parents vs. coach at the end of the week. They did offer however my daughters coach did not seem approachable while other coaches were very friendly. Also I would want to know in advance home many girls will be there from her age group. I'm not sure if it was the week we selected but there were many girls my daughters age. This didn't make it challenging for the girls to play each other every night.

One of the Best Experiences
I recommend this camp to anyone. It was one of the best experiences of my life. The coaches do know what they are doing and it will help you improve a lot in your skills. If you listen to what they have to say and you put it to practice, you will improve like I did.
— Vogelsinger Sarah W., Soccer Academy at Lawrenceville Camper

The days are filled with soccer, they are long and intense. That is what I wanted. Eating, drinking, and sleeping soccer. It is great and recommend it to any serious player.

I recommend this camp to anyone and everyone!
I really loved Vogelsinger Soccer Academy! The school was beautiful and so were the fields! My coach Eddie was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better coach. I learned a lot at the camp and I had a lot of fun. I met a ton of new people, who I stay in touch with constantly! Vogelsinger has improved my game and my body! Soccerobics really improved my core and I loved it! I want to thank everyone who helped me at Vogelsinger camp for making me a better player for the season of my junior year! I am forever grateful!

Encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone
Vogelsinger is great experience for kids that are serious about Soccer. The entire coaching staff genuinely cares about our development and encourages us to get out of our comfort zone. I personally felt like I improved tremendously over the course of the 2 weeks and cannot wait to do it again next year. I'll be bringing my teammates too!

Best technical camp in the country
Incredible opportunity for technical training. As a parent, I did the 3 week academy over 25 years ago and noted the same improvements in my younger children (ages 9 and 11) after they did the one week camp this year. For shooting technique and progression, this is the best camp in the country and has been for several decades. Although the focus is all soccer, our children loved it and enjoyed the other kids in camp. - Parent of camper

Prepared for Upcoming Season
My son learned more strategy, to call for the ball, and his footwork greatly improved. He felt more prepared for his upcoming season. This camp was phenomenal! My son loved the friendly, and yet competitive atmosphere. He learned that he needed to take the feedback from the first week, and how to apply it to improve in week two. The experience was very special, and the experienced coaches made the camp that much better.
