Overview

The Advanced Soccer School is an instructional camp designed for the dedicated soccer player. It is ideal for those players who have aspirations to compete at the select/club, O.D.P., and college level. The Advanced camp will provide a challenging training environment for the players with a specific curriculum for each age group. An emphasis will be placed on the habits and requirements needed to become a top-level soccer player. The Advanced Soccer School will be staffed by a concentrated group of top quality licensed coaches.

Details

The Advanced School prides itself on offering the highest exemplary standards for players and goalkeepers in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The coaching staff will provide a thorough player-improvement program based on players' ability and age. Each group will be trained by a coach and counselor so that the teacher/pupil ration is very low (8:1 max). The experience, age and ability of the campers will determine the specialist group each camper joins. Tactical, technical, and functional facets of the game will be taught and we will play competitive games in the evening.

Goalkeepers will be trained separately in the morning and afternoon sessions and will follow a specific curriculum designed for goalkeepers.

The Advanced Goalkeeping School is directed by Steve Pfeil, the current goalkeeper coach at Loyola University Maryland. Pfeil is a former U-20 US national team, Division I college, and professional goalkeeper with extensive coaching experience at the youth club, high school, and ODP levels in Maryland.
