Highly recommend this camp
I am a third year returning camper and I highly recommend this camp to anyone who has the passion to become a better soccer player. I learn so much each year and my game improves every time. The best part about this camp is that I learn to play my personal best! I also like meeting new campers and making lifelong friends!

Motivational
This camp is sooo good because there are girls at advanced levels and coaches can teach us in a way that's not judgmental or critical but caring They want us to improve for ourselves and the coaches give great motivational advice that's not BS. Bottom line, Vogelsinger cares about my improvement in soccer. That Matters.
May 15, 2025 -

Lots of one on one time by very dedicated coaches. I was exhausted by the end but very thankful for the experience.
May 15, 2025 -
Improvements
It is really fun, you meet a lot of nice people and you cannot leave without learning a lot. Even if you are already a great soccer player you always come out of there even better, wether you learned moves tactics, or just have a better shot, it is worth it.

Camper legacy
My father went to this camp in 1984,85,and 86. He told me this was an incredible experience. After attending the camp I have to agree. The soccer instruction was great, the intensity was high and the people were all very nice. Next year i want to go for 2 weeks. I would love to bring my friends next year. I had an incredible time.

International students
Choosing Vogelsinger was the best decision I made; expectations were exceeded! 2 weeks academy at UCSB Campus were great - and I got in touch with a lot of young people - now friends! Thank you! I will - for sure - return, even if it´s a long trip from Germany!

The coaches were very professional/knowledgeable
Derek loved learning new skills and meeting lots of players at the camp. The coaches were very professional/knowledgeable; the physical trainer (Chris) was extremely kind and caring.

Experience of a lifetime
Volgelsinger Academy was just an awesome experience for my daughter. My daughter is 13 and had the experience of a lifetime. She got to meet kids across the Globe and to this day she is still talking with these kids. I thought that the safety overall was great and the kids never left without being in groups. The soccer training was exceptional, along with a rigorous soccer training schedule. My daughter went to the three week Academy and when she got home she was very drained and exhausted. She tells me that she wants to go back next year.
May 15, 2025 -
Improved Remarkably
My son has improved remarkably during each of the two years he has attended camp. The coaches and trainers are excellent.
May 15, 2025 -
See you Next Year!
My son had an excellent experience and is looking forward to next year. He stated that he really liked the instruction and said everything was explained, demonstrated and passed on really well. The motivational attitudes of the instructors kept the camp fun and at the same made want to learn. Christian says thanks for everything and he'll see you next year.

Came away with more confidence
My daughter went to this camp with one of her team mates. She worked very hard and had a wonderful experience. Her coaches provided her with great leadership, and she developed an array of new skills. It was clear she developed and has already told me that she wants to return for at least two weeks next year. She came away with greater confidence in both soccer and with self esteem. She also made some amazing new friends! She said it reaffirmed her love for the game, and instilled more of a personal work ethic in her, as well as taught her to be more coachable.
May 15, 2025 -
Amazing
The Goalie Camp was amazing. My daughter came home every day wanting to show off something new. Everyday. We will be back for another 3 week's next summer.
May 15, 2025 -
Disciplined training
Our son has participated in many soccer programs, and found the Nike Vogelsinger camp at UCSB to be a fantastic experience - disciplined training, a high level of skills, campers from around the globe and a fun campus environment.
May 15, 2025 -
Very happy returner!
Four years now for my 12 yr. old and she loves it more every year. She even wrote a school essay on Vogelsinger being her favorite week of the year. Next year she goes for two weeks!

This camp is just wonderful! It helps you in every way possible, at first I didn't think that the kicky kicky thing with coach Matt wouldn't help a bit but honestly does. This camp is great because it shows great spirit and friendliness. They promise that you'll go home a better player and you honestly do!
April 22, 2025 -
Came back with friends!
I have attended Vogelsinger Soccer Academy for the past 2 years. My best friend and I have enjoyed it so much that we told all of our friends and we were able to fill our suite with our friends. Our friends had a blast, loved the program, and have now told their teammates and it looks like we will be able to fill 2 rooms next year. Now that's the best testimonial you can get!!! I can't say enough about how wonderful the coaches are. The coaches are fun, competent and they work hard on giving us new moves and tips for making us a more complete player. The fields are nice, and close, and the dorm rooms are great. The food is pretty good too! We love to order take-out pizza. It makes for a fun night of Pizza. Nothing better than a good giggle with your best friends at camp! And finally, Doug Parra... He has got to be the nicest director ever! He is constantly overseeing everything and making sure that everyone is fine. It's awesome when I show up to the camp the first day and Doug is greeting me and knows my name. I know that if I ever had a challenge or problem at camp, Doug would fix it. He is very approachable and I am comfortable going to him for anything I need. See you next year!

I enjoyed the games
November 21, 2023 -
As a goalkeeper, I had a slightly different experience than the rest of the players with my highlight being keeper training and the World Cup.
July 6, 2023 -
Seeing my son learn and grow and adapt to new surroundings with the support from the coaches at the camp was great.
July 1, 2023 -
The kids loved the World Cup tournament every evening as well as the coaches amazing social skills making him feel very welcome.
June 30, 2023 -
The social aspect was one of the highlights of the camp. I attended the camp before player one performance took over and the friendliness of the coaching staff increased by an incredible amount once player one performance came in.
June 30, 2023 -
My daughter really enjoyed the counselors and soccer-activities. She also mentioned the food was really good.

July 12, 2021 -
First rate
Loved meeting new friends. The campus and field were first rate. It was great to have 1-1 experience with amazing coaches for goalie skills, as a lot of camps don't focus on the goalie.
July 12, 2021 -
So much fun
Devin was nervous, this being her first overnight camp. She had so much fun all around in this setting. She did have 3 friends attend with her and that made it even better.

Helped him grow as a soccer player
Quincy loved hanging out with his friends who were at camp, the student lounges and staying in the dorms. He really liked the soccer drills and that they focused specifically on one subject or concept during trainings. It was fun and certainly helped him grow as a soccer player. We look forward to doing it again next summer!

Great Experience
Aidan really grew as a soccer player and young man during the three week camp. This was his first experience being away from home more than a week (at age 12) and wants to return next year. The staff, led by Doug Parra, were amazing and a big part of my son’s positive experience during the three weeks. I attended the Vogelsinger Soccer Academy 29 years ago and am glad my son also has the opportunity to learn the game properly.

Goalie Training
Matthew really enjoyed working with his coaches and improving his skills in the training sessions and games. He found the goalie coach, Juan, to be great to work with and feels like he received helpful, constructive feedback. Matthew & his friends, Alex and Patrick, were very excited about the camp when we picked them up and said that it was a great experience. They all feel that returning multiple years makes the camp easier to adjust to and their skills have greatly improved from attending.

Improving skills in all categories
Joao had a great time at camp. He got a lot of playing time and was able to play with older players. This allowed him to improve his endurance and running speed. Joao also enjoyed that the camp supervisors were very mindful of his needs and were very polite and courteous. The camp was fantastic! Joao enjoyed it a lot and was very happy with all aspects of the camp.

There is a family feel about it
Stamina. You really push the kids to their athletic limits, it shows them what they are capable of! I love that they come home with an evaluation and specific skills to work on. Meeting friends who also love soccer and being inspired by the wonderful coaches. Also the independence to follow a schedule on his own, go to town with friends. This camp is the highlight of his year! The camp is well organized from check-in to check-out. There is a family feel about it- everyone seems to care about my son's well-being. The accommodations are wonderful and I feel very safe leaving him at Tropicana Gardens, it is great that it is all set up in one courtyard. This is a camp he will return to for many years to come!

The accommodations are wonderful and I feel very safe leaving him at Tropicana Gardens, it is great that it is all set up in one courtyard. This is a camp he will return to for many years to come!

Coaches from different parts of the world was also greatly appreciated
As a parent, I was very impressed when showing up on Friday. The camp director, as well as, most of the staff all took time to talk with me and knew exactly who my son was. Each of them provided feedback for me on my son. My son is so picky, but he really enjoyed this camp. He loved the strong workouts and training philosophy. The direction from coaches from different parts of the world was also greatly appreciated by him. I'm hoping to send him back next summer to try out the 2nd week of the program.
