Maryland Girls Soccer Camp
The Berkshire Soccer Academy for Girls on Plunkett Lake is a unique state-of-the-art athletic facility dedicated to girls and women’s soccer in western Massachusetts. The Academy is located in the quaint town of Hinsdale, Massachusetts, less than 2 and a half hours north of New York City. It is 75 minutes from Bradley International Airport (located between Hartford, CT & Springfield, MA) and from the Albany, NY Airport (ALB). Free airport pickup and dropoff is provided. Campers come to the Academy from throughout Maryland. We provide a great girls soccer experience by focusing on individual skill development in a fun and positive environment.
Overnight Girls Soccer Camp Program
The Academy is the only overnight soccer camp for girls to infuse balance and fun into a world-class soccer training experience. Our focus on providing elite coaches and facilities in a fun environment makes us one of the best overnight soccer camps for girls in Massachusetts.
We make our athletes better soccer players and better and more well-rounded young women. Girls at the Academy on Plunkett Lake receive elite training on our top-quality facilities from qualified and experienced coaches. Our goal is to provide a fun and balanced place for every girl to elevate her game to the next level. We focus on player improvement in three main areas: physical, mental and social; while deliberately infusing fun and balance into the learning process. As one of the few specialty soccer camps set in a traditional camp environment, we encourage our athletes to train hard on the field, and then enjoy a relaxing elective activity, like standup paddleboarding or pickleball to decompress and enjoy down-time with friends.
