Signature Sports Camps is thrilled to now offer summer soccer camp at our beachside location in St. Pete, Florida! As the experts in blending rigorous training with the quintessential overnight summer camp experience, we’re now expanding our expertise beyond Lacrosse to include Soccer and Field Hockey tracks for the upcoming summer.
To do this launch right, Signature Sports Camps has partnered with the Eckerd College Soccer Programs, pulling in the college coaching staff’s expertise along with their collegiate soccer players (from all over the world!) to be our 2024 Summer Soccer Camp Resident Coaches. On the field, Eckerd College coaches & players will be focused on the technical skills that build up your athlete to be the most confident version of his/herself, both on and off the field.
Let’s dive a bit deeper into the Signature Difference!
Elite Soccer Coaching
Did someone say Tampa Bay Rowdies? Yep, we did! The Rowdies are a professional soccer team based right in St. Pete! They have been in the USL Championship League for 15 years. In 2012, they won the NASL Soccer Bowl Championship and are eager for another big win. In order to offer the specialized training we strive for, we have partnered with some players to bring their love for the game and their professional skills to our overnight soccer camp. Our professionals will demonstrate drills, tweak players’ skills, and show them how to be confident & creative players. Your camper will be able to play soccer alongside these icons of the sport, learning from them and growing as athletes.
While the professionals are exciting, we can’t forget to shout out our Resident Coaches who make up the unique culture of Signature Sports Camps. One thing about our coaches is their intense passion for the game. All of our Resident Coaches are college soccer players who have years of experience in their positions and are ready to share their knowledge with our campers. Our Resident Coaches stay in the dorms and are involved in every aspect of our camp, from training on the field to off-the-field activities.
When it’s time for traditional camp activities, our Resident Coaches don’t play around. They are competitive, activate the campers around them, and get everyone involved in the fun. The Signature coaches (Residents or Headliners) become mentors for these young athletes.
Soccer Skill Building
At Signature’s Overnight Soccer Camps, we prioritize correct fundamentals, unique training, and creativity in our players. We break up our training into stations where players are separated by age and skill level. Our coaches prioritize correct fundamentals and player development, focusing on each player’s unique needs. If your athlete is a beginner, coaches will work with him or her on the basics: you can expect your camper to walk away with a greater understanding of the game. Advanced players will be pushed and challenged and, ultimately, leave camp more confident and creative on the field. By implementing stations, and separating by skill and age, we keep the soccer camp experience competitive.
Beyond the Field: Adventures and Excursions
The niche that separates Signature from the rest is the blend of traditional summer camp with sports training camp. We know your child loves soccer, but who doesn’t want to take a break from the field to socialize and have fun being a kid or teenager? This is why we incorporate exciting off-the-field activities where kids are inspired by adventure with new friends from around the USA. We love our Florida location because of the beach on campus, access to boating, and all of the fun to be had in the Florida sun! Who doesn’t love the beach and outdoors? Some of our campers’ favorites include a dance party on the beach, spike ball tournament & s’mores, and boating on the Gulf of Mexico.
