Elite Camp

The Elite Camp is a residential camp designed for the advanced player. The camp combines individual skills with advanced team tactics to enhance the development of each player. Campers will be exposed to challenging training sessions to improve decision-making and speed of play. Competitive evening matches will also enhance development and provide players the opportunity to showcase their ability and potential to perform at the collegiate level. In addition to field instruction, the Elite Camp features a lecture series including topics such as: speed and strength training, dynamic stretching, sports psychology and the college recruiting process.

Individual attention and instruction are fundamental goals at the Elite Camp. Staff members are selected for their knowledge and passion for teaching the game. Campers will be instructed on the principles of zonal defending, possession, combination play, 1 v 1 play, counter attacking and finishing. Our coach to camper ratio is 1:8 and the staff is committed to one on one coaching and the personal development of every player. At the end of the camp each player will receive a written evaluation to guide them with their training and development after camp.

The UR Elite Soccer Camp combines outstanding facilities, exceptional coaches and high-level competition to be the premier soccer camp in upstate New York.

Goalkeeping Curriculum
Our goalkeeping staff will teach players the technical, tactical, mental and physical aspects of this crucial position. Individualized training will focus on: footwork, catching, distribution, angle play, high balls, decision-making and communication. The training experience is further enhanced as the goalkeepers are incorporated into small group training sessions and full field II v II matches. Our goal is to provide every goalkeeper with the tools they need to continue to improve long after the conclusion of camp.
