What We Do

Since 2004, CPC has given youth soccer players the opportunity to participate in a collegiate style training for the purpose of developing their skill set to meet the college standard and learn what it takes to play at the next level.

 

Our Mission

The College Prep Camp has been training, developing, and evaluating local youth soccer players for over 17 years. CPC has been designed to give youth players the opportunity to experience a full, college-level day of training under the direction of a visiting college coach. Visiting coaches have been welcomed from over 50 D1 college programs. Players leave camp with a clear understanding of what will be expected technically, tactically, physically, and psychologically when they sign to to play at the collegiate level. College Prep Camp offers participants the opportunity to evaluate their level of play and gain a better understanding of what parts of their game need improvement to meet the college standard. Small, training-focused groups give players the rare opportunity to impress college coaches while receiving unparalleled, focused instruction.

 

“My daughter had an exceptional training experience. I had the opportunity to ask the coaches questions about all facets of the life of a student athlete, which put my mind at ease with regards to my daughter’s decision-making process.”

— Lucy H.
