The SMU Soccer Academy is one of the premier soccer camps in the United States. Coach McClements and his dedicated staff of coaches direct the Academy. Located on the SMU campus, players will participate in a challenging but fun week of soccer instruction. Once at the SMU Academy, players will be broken into small groups based on age and skill level. This allows every player to improve faster as well as receive more individual attention. The Academy will feature daily technical and tactical sessions, small-sided tournaments in the afternoon and full-sided games in the evening. During the morning sessions, we will teach and correctly demonstrate the skills needed to improve the player's individual technique. In the afternoon sessions players will be taught tactics and play small-sided games. The evening session consists of full-sided games in tournament format. During these games, the players are able to demonstrate the technique and tactics learned during the day. At the SMU Soccer Academy, we strive to teach the campers the skills that they need to improve along with how to use those skills in the game. At the end of the week, each player will be given an evaluation that will provide feedback on how they can improve.
Teams are welcome at the camp. You may register together, and we will make sure teams stay together with the same coach throughout the week. Parents are welcome to all evening sessions.
