The camp is designed for all youth players who are looking to challenge themselves in a competitive environment.

The Elite camp is also open to club teams. We require that a minimum of 12 field players from your team sign-up to guarantee training together.  The staff will provide a college recruiting Q&A to give high school aged players insight into how the college recruiting process works.  Parents are encouraged to attend all evening matches as well as the college Q&A.   Each player will receive a written evaluation at the end of camp.
