Soccer Camps

Now, we do Premier One Camps (Full Day) and love them (Heat will always be an issue) the first time we attended, we went half day and left wanting more. The full day camps are worth it, but your soccer star needs to be in shape, to get your money's worth. This camp is Challenging, not puffy.

The other camp we definitely do is with Global Futbal. Jeremie is awesome, and his staff of Andy, RJ, and Robert connect well with the kids. The nice thing about their camps is you can do a six person camp.

The TCU camp mentioned before is getting better, I believe, Premier One has been asked to help run/revamp it. For a couple years, the camp was described as not challenging.

One Camp that has been highly recommended, but we haven't gone to is out of Univ of Dallas, run by no. 1 soccer schools. For us, it's a question of too many camps, not enough time and ($), and not wanting our DD to have a bad case of burn out. For under 10's going into select camps are dicey for scheduling due to Club camps and Qualifying Tourney, and tryouts.

Good Luck,

My dd did the No. 1 camp last year, it is 6 days/5 nights. They split the kids up based on age. It was her first time away from home and it was a very intense camp. It is split between keepers (her camp) and strikers. She absolutely loved it and we are already signed up again for this summer. Her skills improved greatly, but most importantly is that she learned how to learn the position (if that makes any sense). They have an extended version of the camp for kids getting ready for college. My dd was the youngest there last year and there were more HS aged kids than there were kids 4-6 grade. I highly recommend it, but it is not cheap.

$789 for the camp! That seems awfully high to me. That is for the residental camp and the comuter rate is still $589.

We did the UT and SMU camp last year I wouldn't do SMU camp again.

Why is that???

I just didn't think the camp was worth the money to be blunt. It seem to be more intended for the beginner players I thought with little focus on hard work. We were expecting something like Tatu's camp where the girls got some major work everyday and focus on skills. In my opinion it was more like a kiddie camp for kids. I know several others that went and had the same opinion.

**We went to the resident one if that helps
