Champion Soccer School is back for its 23rd year overall and 3rd year in Wilmington, We will be offering 5 weeks of co-ed camp from June 23 to July 25, 2025&nbsp;for Grades K-7 and our early high school camp for two separate weeks between&nbsp;June 30 and July 11, 2025.

Weekly cost is $315 for 9 am to 3 pm ($350 for our elite camp). Discounts for going 4-5 weeks. We will be at the Woburn Street School.
Players can go for one week or as many as five, and we have developed a program over the course of the five weeks to focus on different areas of your game:
<ul><li>Week 1 (grades K-7 in fall of&nbsp;2025) (June 23-27)&nbsp;will be our "standard" program. This includes a separate day dedicated to dribbling, shooting, attacking/defending, passing, and World Cup Day with the goal of improving on a broad range of skills.&nbsp;</li><li>Week 2 (grades K-9)&nbsp;(June 30-July 3) will be our finishing week, which includes&nbsp;4 days focused on becoming better at scoring individually and as a team. This includes&nbsp;creating windows to shoot, developing different techniques to finish (inside, outside, laces, breakaways, both feet), thinking about what type of shot to hit in each situation, and how to move off the ball near the goal.&nbsp;</li><li>Week 3 (grades K-9) (July 7-11) will be our elite camp, which will be a higher intensity camp with a focus on individual possession, team possession, 1 v 1 attacking and defending, and team attacking and defending.&nbsp;</li><li>Week 4 (grades K-7)&nbsp;(July 14-18) is a new possession/scrimmaging week. This will be focused on the ~80 percent of the game we all need to master -- get open, receive, find/create a passing window, pass and move to improve on&nbsp;individual and team possession. We will practice a lot of technical skills and apply it in scrimmage-like situations.</li><li>Week 5 (July 21-25) will also be our standard program with slight modifications compared to&nbsp;Week 1.</li></ul>
Also look for our other soccer camps located in Belmont and Wayland, MA including our big high school team camp at Wayland High School, which brings in Varsity, JV, and freshman teams from around the area and runs from August 11-15, 2025.
