2020 Akron Men's Soccer Camps |
Due to a recent update in University COVID-19 policy, we are unable to host any 2020 summer camps. Please join our email list and we will send out our winter camp schedule when we have dates finalized. Sorry for the inconvenience. We want to get back out onto the field as much as you! Hope to see you at one of our games this fall or at camp next year! Thank you for your understanding and go Zips! |
Each Day Camp session will focus on skill development for young soccer players. Campers will learn soccer skills and techniques through exercises and games specifically designed for the young player. Campers are encouraged to learn and develop at their own pace under the careful guidance of the director and his expert staff. The emphasis is always on fun and learning!
The Little Stars section of camp is a great way to expose boys and girls aged 4 - 6 to soccer in a fun and safe environment. Camp will run from 9-11am daily. The main objective is to introduce and teach basic soccer skills and concepts through exercises and games. The cost for a week of Little Stars camp is $120.00.

The Day
While the daily schedule will be slightly different depending on age, the basic daily format will be:
The Staff
Coach Embick has worked hard to bring together his staff of college and high school coaches, as well as many of Akron's top players. Your skills and overall playing ability will advance with the experience and knowledge of our coaching staff. Our coaches are known for the quality of their teaching. Qualified Athletic Trainers are on duty at all times to handle any medical needs. All activities are carefully supervised.
Swimming
Campers will have the option of swimming each day after lunch, and each camper must pass a swim test on the first day with the University of Akron Lifeguards to swim in the deep end. Swimming is not mandatory, although it is encouraged because... it's fun!
Discounts
Discounts apply to Full Day Camp only:
Lunch
Campers will bring their lunch from home every day, but we will provide a snack in the morning. For those with food allergies, please note that on your child's registration, and medical staff will confirm with you at check in as well.
