Academy Camps
Individual players of any level are invited to attend the Rough Riders Soccer Academy Camps. The technical and tactical curriculum our camps provide will allow you to come closer to reaching your full soccer potential. Training groups will be created based upon skill level and age to optimize the training environment.
Attacking Techniques and 1v1
Bring your offensive qualities to a new level! Beating defenders with skilled dribbling or smart passing is what makes the difference in the game. We help you improve the foot skills you need and teach you how to make the right decisions to be successful and score goals for your team.
Ball Mastery 1v1 Camp
Ball Mastery courses aid in developing soccer specific footwork and techniques that will improve ball control, technical speed,
coordination, agility, and balance. Players will learn attacking and defending in specific 1v1 situations. Individuals will gain the knowledge and confidence to be successful in 1v1 scenarios and begin to define their style of play.
Community Camps
Soccer clubs, schools, or existing camps can host their own Rough Riders Training Camps. Rough Riders Players and Coaches will come to your facility or soccer field to run a team or community camp for your organization. These camps can be customized to meet your specific community needs.
Elite Player Camps
Elite Camps (Field Players & Goalkeepers) are designed specifically for dedicated soccer players! Elite Camps offer challenging
instruction in an environment designed exclusively for advanced players. Sessions integrate skill training, game play and intense agility and coordination exercises. Elite Camps are designated for players on Division I level, Select or Premier teams. Players may also attend upon approval from Rough Riders Coaching Staff.
Futsal Camps
Rough Riders Futsal Camps develop skill, control, and technique. Players will learn to settle the ball rapidly, pass quickly, and move into appropriate field space.
Striker / Goalkeeper Camps
Campers may choose to focus on striker; goalkeeper; or a combination of both positions. The Rough Riders Striker Camps focus on the technical and tactical skills needed for strikers to score goals. Each player will learn the intricate methods of attacking in various positions on the field. No matter what “position” a player is assigned, they must know how to attack from any designated area on the field.
Teddy’s Skillz Challenge
Campers get the chance to apply all the new techniques and skills they have been working on throughout the camp and compete in a variety of soccer challenges and competitions. They perform as individuals, but also compete as a team. Who will be juggling champion? Who is the dribble master? Who earns their spot in the All-Star match against the coaches?
Small-Sided Games & Situational Play
Functional match tactics are a key element for a successful soccer team. Our coaches will use different forms of scrimmages and small-sided games (3v3,4v4,5v5) to introduce positioning, general tactics understanding and decision-making in various situations.
