The Berkshire Soccer Academy on Plunkett Lake

About the Academy

The Berkshire Soccer Academy blends world-class coaching with a friendly and inviting traditional camp setting to guide girls to discover their greatness on and off the field.

The Academy’s innovative coaching approach provides each athlete with consistent, individualized instruction.

Individual Improvement

The goal of our soccer program is to meet every player where she is and to challenge her to work harder, faster, and with more precision on the ball—so that she develops and returns home to contribute to her team with more ability, confidence and passion.
Athletes receive ongoing instruction and frequent feedback from the 4-6 coaches that work with each training group. Athletes usually have a ball at their feet and get hundreds of touches a day. Coaches focus on fundamentals like ball control, passing, shooting, and first touch; as well as more advanced attacking and defending techniques. Regardless of ability, every player is pushed to the edge of her game to foster maximum improvement.

Development Through Meaningful Relationships

At the beginning of the week, all athletes are placed into a 25-30 athlete training group which works with the same 4-5 coaches throughout the week. These coaches, led by a Master Coach, provide each player with consistent instruction and individualized skill development. Both coaches and players benefit from getting to know one another, and they form meaningful relationships, which, combined with an elite training environment, yield extraordinary results. 80% of BSA athletes report improvement in their soccer, and fewer than 3% report no improvement.
