Wake Forest University continues its tradition of great soccer by hosting their two summer soccer camps.

The Residential Camp, taking place June 19-22, is a four-day training camp. It will concentrate on a curriculum that is set and taught the same way Wake Forest soccer coaches train their athletes. It will grant players a peek at what the Demon Deacons go through day in and day out, before and during college soccer season.

“We’ll be teaching the game in a way which we feel is correct. We teach attacking soccer, making them want to the ball,” Wake Forest Men’s Soccer Assistant Coach Ryan Martin said.

The camp itself will be a teaching camp, according to Martin. There will be sessions teaching both technical and tactical training in regard to small-sided play.

The Residential Camp is open for ages 10 and up, and is expected to have about 300 participants.

A month later, Wake Forest will host its 48-hour Soccer Academy Showcase Camp. This camp will give players a more physical perspective on how a college session functions at the Division 1 level.

“We bring in 15 college coaches, and in each session you will be taught by a different coach,” Martin explained. “Each player is assigned a team at night, and will end up playing three games in three sessions. There will also be a panel of professional soccer players talking about what it takes to get to that level.”

Unlike the Wake Forest’s Residential Camp, the Showcase Camp will be a high intensity arena to display every aspect of your skills as a soccer player.

The Soccer Academy Showcase Camp will take place July 19-21.
