Group Warm-Up
All Eurotech® Soccer Academy campers will start the camp by participating in a group warm-up on the first day consisting of lots of fun activities including tag games, team games, ball gymnastics, and more to get everyone acclimated to the coaches, the weather and the field conditions. A great way to start camp and a Eurotech® trademark activity! Starting on Monday, the 9:15am field session after breakfast will consist of an age specific group warm-up activity each day. This short 15-20 minute session allows all campers to learn about physical preparation techniques, warming up properly and the importance of flexibility. The second purpose of this daily regimen is to instill discipline, injury prevention and to teach the importance of preparing the body for performance on a daily basis. The Eurotech® camp week is a strenous one and these sessions tend to ward off most typical overuse camp injuries pending the level of fitness the camper arrives to camp in!
Teaching Group Placements
Eurotech® Soccer Academy offers the only truly progressive instructional program in the country for boys and girls age 7-18. All teaching group placements and evaluations are done initially through the first day of camp for both teams and individual players. Eurotech® Coaching Staff will create small groups based on age, size, talent and physical safety concerns. Eurotech® will make every effort to have each camper experience the most competitive environment possible and campers always have the opportunity to move up or down in a program based on their level of motivation and comfort as well as overall performance.

Eurotech® Camp Meetings
Eurotech believes in providing as many learning experiences in a weekly camp session as possible and the daily camp meetings in the evenings are no exception. Every camp location will offer different sessions but the main purpose of the nightly meeting is to allow the campers to relax and have fun with their peers. The days are long and full of instruction so Eurotech® keeps the topics simple and functional using a combination of video and live lectures. Previous camp meeting topics have included nutrition, soccer speed, overall soccer fitness, college recruitment, playing professional soccer, international travel, team building, soccer psychology, winning habits, talent shows and many more! Camp meetings are typically conducted by outside presenters or Eurotech® Coaching Staff and Directors.The camp meetings typically last 30-40 minutes and allow overnight campers to bond and socialize in an organized setting.
Eurotech® Pizza Party
The Eurotech® Pizza Party is a new twist on an old Eurotech® camp tradition! A camper and staff favorite, all overnight campers may participate in the optional Pizza Party after the Camp Meeting. Campers have the option to pre-pay for the nightly Pizza Party Package when registering for camp which guarantees them plenty of pizza every night! Campers and staff will enjoy fresh pizza delivered directly after the Camp Meeting and the cost is only $35 per person for the week!
Eurotech® Dance Party
The famous Eurotech Dance Party takes place every Wednesday night of camp at all sites and has been a camper favorite for years! A live DJ typically spins the tunes which are both age appropriate and censored for language, content, etc.. The Dance party is fully supervised by Eurotech® Camp Staff and campers always enjoy the socializing and dancing from 9-10:15pm. The dance party set-up varies from site to site pending camp enrollment and typically features Video Screens, Smoke & Bubble Machines, Lighting, and of course dance contests! Parents are always welcome to join in the fun and Extended Day campers are also invited to join the party!
Swim Sessions
Swim sessions are also a favorite camper activity and typically found at MOST sites but NEVER guaranteed! If swimming facilities are available to Eurotech® campers, 1-3 sessions are typically fit into the weekly program if possible. Swim sessions are fully supervised by both Certified Lifeguards AND Eurotech® Camp Staff. Please note that, as a lessee of camp facilities, Eurotech® cannot control whether swim facilities, times or certified lifeguards are made available to Eurotech® campers during the week of said session. Eurotech® will do everything possible to ensure that a swim session is included during the camp week but will firstly make sure that your child’s safety is our number one priority.
