Camp One focuses on critical ball mastery skills and fundamental skills required to excel in soccer, such as passing, receiving, and ball striking. Players will then be asked each day to apply the skills they rehearse in small-sided games and activities that encourage problem solving and decision making in both fun and competitive environments. No level of experience is necessary to participate in the camp. Players will be grouped by age and/or ability.
Waxhaw will host two evening camps for our youngest players, ages 3-6.

Camp Two will continue its focus on ball mastery and the skills required to advance in soccer. Camp two will focus on the same curriculum as Camp One. Plus Camp Two will also hold “Advanced Training” for those players who may be starting our competitive travel program the following week. Expect for teams to work with each other in an intensified atmosphere using a critical focus on “next steps” provided by the game coach and age director.
A mainstay in the Waxhaw summer soccer programming is the Elite Camp. This program is offered for our first and second division classic players only.
The intensity, focus, and content of the camp is specifically designed to push players and prepare players for the rigors of their respective competitive divisions. The profile of a player who would benefit the most from this camp is a player who is disciplined, independently motivated, very hardworking, and dedicated to meeting the highest expectations.
Last year's concentration was to build technical ball mastery with situational attacking, striking, and finishing. This year’s concentration will focus on repetition of essential techniques, speed of play, and decision-making under pressure in small match application scenarios.
