High School Summer Training

Champion offers  training for high school players through a mix of evening clinics and day camps. Players can mix and match our programming with a variety of pricing options OR they can take advantage of the progression of training we offer throughout the summer to fully prepare for the rigors of a full high school soccer season.

Progression

• All three locations offer freshmen (and sometimes 8th and 10th graders) an opportunity to join an elite camp and help get them up to speed and ready for high school soccer. These younger high school players are welcome to join any and all of these three younger elite programs.
• Our flagship week is our CSS Elite Scrimmaging Camp (Team Camp). This occurs at Wayland High School and has trained numerous state championship-winning teams over the past 15 years. As high school tryouts approach, this is the final prep needed to achieve peak conditioning and top form entering tryouts. More details below. This is appropriate for both high school teams to attend and/or attend individually from your high school

In all of our High School co-ed training, we try our best to separate genders.  Often we combine genders for skill building drills (when there are no defenders), but then separate during competitive drills (scrimmaging, 1 v 1, 2 v 2, etc.) For the Elite Team camp, we will have a separate girls program (with a minimum of 12 players).

Program Offerings

• Freshmen and Elite Development Camp (for grades 8-10): Our CSS Elite Freshmen and Development Camps enhances three core components of a player’s repertoire: technical, physical, and psychological. We work on injury prevention and intense conditioning to build strength, agility, speed, and endurance. We have blocks combining high intensity, skill enhancement, and decision making. We include small-sided games to help further build skills and fitness while working on decision making.
  
• Elite Scrimmaging Camp (Team Camp): Our flagship Elite Scrimmaging Camp provides ample scrimmaging and fitness work to round you into top form and peak conditioning before preseason.  The Belmont and Wayland and other varsity coaches run a program that prepares players for the rigors of high school soccer. The first 60 minutes of each morning is dedicated to injury prevention, speed, agility, endurance, and strength work. Late mornings and afternoons are reserved for small- and large-sided scrimmaging. Along with an evaluation, players also receive a one on one meeting with a coach.

For our Elite Programs, our lead coaches have high school coaching experience and/or college playing experience from Brandeis, Bentley, Tufts, Northeastern, and Wesleyan to name a few.  We often get upwards of 90 players participating, with multiple towns sending “teams” to train together (historically including Wayland, Belmont, and others). Many individual players enroll as well.
