Regardless of your role, you will have the opportunity to work with outstanding people at the Academy. You will practice your own skills, and you will develop lifelong contacts with current and future leaders in your field.

Leaders in every field appreciate the skills necessary to succeed at the Academy – teamwork, creativity, leadership, the ability to command respect, openness to new experiences, and the ability to build relationships with those from different backgrounds. These are all vital to a successful career in business, coaching, education, psychology, and many other endeavors.

Mentoring campers and staff to become good people, skilled players, and smart professionals can be immeasurably rewarding. Spend your summer with other talented people committed to children and their passion for soccer.

Staff help bring our Special events and Elective Activities to life! Elective staff will lead up to four, 60 minute activity sessions per day, under the guidance and mentorship of our leadership staff. At camp you will learn how to lead intentional and fun classes with a focus on inclusiveness and relationship building.

Soccer coaches practice their coaching skills in the truest soccer instruction environment possible. Our Soccer Director and Master Coaches are available to guide and support the growth and learning of every coach. Coaches also have the unique opportunity to learn from our Visiting Pros and from soccer legends Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, and Tisha Venturini Hoch and University of Texas Coach Ange Kelly during our session with TeamFirst Soccer Academy.

All staff enjoy access to the Academy’s facilities during their scheduled break times. If you are a college athlete, you can prepare for pre-season by training and playing with other soccer coaches.

During time off, you can explore the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts, a physically beautiful area widely recognized as “America’s Cultural Resort.”
