About the Camps
Penn State's resident soccer camps are structured to give serious players an opportunity to improve their technical and tactical abilities in practice and game situations. The players are grouped according to ability, experience, maturity, and competitive spirit. Participation in all camps is limited to ensure quality instruction.
Facilities — Using natural grass fields and large practice areas, playing space is plentiful and readily available. Lighted fields permit 11 vs. 11 games to be played each evening. Game fields, cafeterias, residence halls, and recreational facilities are within minutes of each other.
Equipment — The players should bring the necessary practice gear, including soccer sneakers and rain gear. Shin guards are required for all sessions. All participants at the instructional camps will receive a camp shirt and a soccer ball.
