Our Journey began in the summer of 1999. We started with just one camp in Santa Barbara, CA. Over the following years we have grown one. soccer into a brand known and respected for delivering the very best soccer camp environment in the USA! 

Over the many years of work we have devised what we believe is a curriculum of work throughout the week that challenges and inspires young soccer players. The game being the teacher and the coach being the guide, we have created a healthy balance of technical and tactical work in small sided environments, allowing the individual to develop a solid foundation and understanding of what is required to compete, enjoy, and have success in what is in our biased opinion, the best sport in the world! 

Our staff are hand selected for their character traits, love for the game, and passion for teaching and nurturing the young mind. We employ many international staff from several different countries to bring a wide variety of culture and knowledge to our program. We place a high importance on past and current playing experience and the ability of our staff to demonstrate at a high level.
