About the Camps

The goal of the Villanova Boys Soccer program is two fold. 1. To give high school soccer players (Grades 9-12) the edge on recruiting by providing an in depth look at the college soccer recruiting process plus having a collection of top coaches for the players to showcase their abilities. 2. To TEACH, challenge and develop the enthusiastic, young soccer player in a competitive and fun environment. Players ranging from the ages of 6-14 will be trained by our professional staff, comprised of top collegiate, club, and high school coaches as well as collegiate players who are all here to help you reach your goals. 
*These camps are open to any and all entrants that meet the above criteria.
