The Best 2 Weeks of Soccer Camp
A Season of Training in Just 2 Weeks at Soccer Camp
Two-week sessions provide a season of training in just 12 days. The 18 training sessions are equivalent to a typical spring or fall club season. Athletes can also add one private training and as many as 8 soccer-elective periods.
2-Week Benefits
- Variety – Two-week campers work with different coaches from our mostly female team and experience unique elective activities and special events.
- Feedback – At the end of the first five days, athletes receive written feedback from one of their training group coaches. They review the feedback with that coach and together determine how to maximize the next five days of training.
- Appropriate Rest – Following the first 5 days of training, athletes recharge with a two and one-half day bridge session featuring off-site excursions, extended electives and extra rest.
- More Games – Two session campers can participate in a full-field scrimmage against other Berky athletes.
- Extra Skills – An extended stay creates more comfort during the second week of training. When campers are more familiar, they take healthy risks on the field, which creates new opportunities to discover unexpected skills.
