2027 Summer Camps & Clinics

The 2027 Summer Kick Off Camp is designed for participants ages 7–13 who want to start the summer developing their technical foundation in a structured, challenging, and positive training environment.

Open to a range of experience levels, the camp combines technical training, purposeful repetition, station-based learning, and small-sided games throughout four days of training.

Built around the Own Touch Methodology, participants are grouped appropriately so each child can train at a level that provides the right balance of challenge and confidence.

Camp Focus

Participants rotate through technical stations focused on areas such as:

• Ball Mastery & Dribbling
• Passing & Receiving
• Shooting & Finishing
• Coordination & Movement
• Decision-Making

Station-based training allows participants to receive focused coaching while working on multiple areas of their game throughout the day.

From Technique to the Game

Morning training emphasizes technical development and quality repetition.

As the day progresses, activities introduce additional pressure, opposition, and decision-making before transitioning into small-sided games and match play.

The goal is to help participants connect what they practice with situations they will experience in the game.

The 2027 Own Touch Travel Camp is designed for travel-level participants ages 9–14 who are ready for a faster, more challenging technical training environment.

The 2027 Shooting & Finishing Camp is designed for participants ages 7–13 who want to improve the technical actions involved in creating and finishing goal-scoring opportunities.

• Dribbling to Create Shooting Opportunities

Creating the Finish

Scoring opportunities rarely begin with the final shot.

Throughout the week, participants learn how different technical actions connect together to create opportunities around goal.

Afternoon small-sided games provide an environment where participants can recognize those moments and apply what they have practiced under realistic pressure.
