Welcome to the Soccer Academy. Our soccer camps were founded by the Head Coaches at U.C.L.A. and U.C.S.B. in 1973. The Soccer Academy has been training young players for 30 years at residential and day camps. Our campers have won High School Championships, State Cups, NCAA, NAIA, and Junior College National Championships. They have also competed on State Select, USYSA Regional, U.S. Junior National, and U.S. World Cup Teams. Our coaching staff has featured 31 college coaches, 23 foreign professional players, and 16 American pros.
Our residential Camp was founded in 1973 at the Ojai Valley School. The camp is now located in the cool weather and the beautiful campus at Cal State Channel Islands in Camarillo. From the beginning, The Academy has offered a unique program of instruction that develops each camper's skills and tactical awareness. Players are grouped by age and ability into teams that are under the supervision of our professional staff. Besides the twice a day technical training, campers also participate in scrimmages each evening to integrate their newly learned skills into real game situations. There are also penalty kick competitions, Soccer Olympics, and the Styro Cup Challenge. At the end of the week, each camper sits down with their coach and receives a full written evaluation to help prepare for the new season. Free time is filled with a swim at the campus pool or a visit to the rec room to play some ping pong, foosball, or compete on the camp's videogames. No other camp has developed such a complete program or can match our 30 years of excellence.
Westmont College in the foothills above Santa Barbara provides the perfect setting for the camp. There are lush soccer fields, indoor soccer courts, a complete rec room, Olympic size swimming pool, and dining hall that was selected as the best in California. Campers stay two or three per room in the modern dorms on campus.
