Wonderful experience
July 13, 2019: This was a wonderful experience for Audrey. She was by far the smallest player there that session. Everyone including the campers and staff were very helpful and friendly. She met some really nice people and learned a lot about her game. I strongly believe that she will benefit from her time spent participating.

Goalie Training
July 12, 2019: Matthew really enjoyed working with his coaches and improving his skills in the training sessions and games. He found the goalie coach, Juan, to be great to work with and feels like he received helpful, constructive feedback. Matthew & his friends, Alex and Patrick, were very excited about the camp when we picked them up and said that it was a great experience. They all feel that returning multiple years makes the camp easier to adjust to and their skills have greatly improved from attending.

Great Experience
July 13, 2019: Aidan really grew as a soccer player and young man during the three week camp. This was his first experience being away from home more than a week (at age 12) and wants to return next year. The staff, led by Doug Parra, were amazing and a big part of my son’s positive experience during the three weeks. I attended the Vogelsinger Soccer Academy 29 years ago and am glad my son also has the opportunity to learn the game properly.

July 12, 2019: Joao had a great time at camp. He got a lot of playing time and was able to play with older players. This allowed him to improve his endurance and running speed. Joao also enjoyed that the camp supervisors were very mindful of his needs and were very polite and courteous.The camp was fantastic! Joao enjoyed it a lot and was very happy with all aspects of the camp.
