Soccer: Take Your Skills to the Next Level
Take your soccer skills to the next level with our high-performance training camp. Experience a university-level training environment run by coaches and players from one of the top schools in Canada. Our staff are excited to share with your athletes the process, attention to detail, and intentionality it takes to prep for an upcoming season or match.
You’ll get to experience what top university athletes go through in preparation for their seasons. Enjoy everything from on-field technical sessions, tactical sessions, small-sided games, video review and analysis, classroom learning, soccer-specific injury prevention, and of course, gameplay with top-level coaching. All of this will be done within the beautiful Ron Joyce Stadium and David Braley Athletic Centre.
Build confidence and sharpen your soccer skills at our Soccer Fundamentals Camp! Athletes will develop core techniques, train in McMaster’s excellent athletic facilities, and use video review to see their skills in action and learn how to improve.
