Camp Philosophy
The goal of the Cross Bar Soccer Academy is to provide a positive learning environment for all of its players. We have continued to accomplish this goal by creating a competitive but enjoyable atmosphere where players improve their individual skills and understanding of the game. These principles are presented by our nationally licensed coaching staff.
 

General Information
Each player should bring shin guards and a ball to camp. Water will be provided to all players. Players participating in the goalkeeping program should bring their own goalkeeping equipment. Each player who attends any of the Summer Academies will receive a camp t-shirt.

 

ACADEMY PROGRAMS

Half Day Academy 9:00 - 12:00
Boys and Girls Ages 8-14  July 14-17
Fee: $75 per week

The Half Day Academy is geared toward our younger players. A curriculum loaded with technical instruction, small-sided games, and lots of fun will help players develop their individual skills as well as a love and passion for the game. Players are grouped by age and skill level to ensure that their instruction is challenging enough yet not overwhelming. This Academy consists of one training session each day from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon.

 

 

Goalkeeping Academy  9:00 - 12:00 & 6:00 - 8:00

Our goalkeeping program will be offered during the Competitive Academy week. Goalkeepers will work with the staff during the morning and evening sessions and then participate in the full sided games. Specific attention will be given to fundamentals, positioning, diving, handling crosses,
distribution and decision making. Goalkeepers should be prepared for a challenging and rewarding week when signing up for the Goalkeeping Academy.
