Louisiana-Nicholls State University-Thibodaux
Near New Orleans, Baton Rouge & Lafayette
Eurotech® Soccer Academy is entering its 13th year of running soccer camps in the state of Louisiana. The tradition started at soccer powerhouse St. Paul’s School in Covington on the "North Shore" and when they decided to convert the campus to a day school in 2006, Eurotech® moved it’s camp to "Cajun Country" and Nicholls State University to stay as close to their loyal following as possible. Women’s Soccer at Division 1 Nicholls State University is also making a comeback with new Head Coach and Eurotech® Regional Director, Dylan Harrison at the helm. Dylan is a Louisiana native and we are excited to have him on the team! Eurotech® and NSU are both known for their great programs and we believe NSU to be one of the top facilities hosting our camp program each summer. The campus is already home to other National Camps such as the Peyton Manning Football Passing Academy. A main feature of the NSU campus is it’s multi-million dollar facelift which is an ongoing project benefiting Eurotech® campers since our first year on campus in 2007.

About Nicholls State University
Nicholls State University, founded in 1948, is a public university located in Thibodaux, Louisiana, USA. Nicholls is part of the University of Louisiana System of universities. Originally called Francis T. Nicholls Junior College, the institution split from the Louisiana State University System in 1956. The university is named for Francis T. Nicholls, a former governor of Louisiana, and member of the Louisiana Supreme Court. The 287-acre campus, once part of historic Acadia Plantation, fronts on Bayou Lafourche, about 50 miles southwest of New Orleans and 60 miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Nicholls is located in Acadiana, also known as "Cajun Country," an area rich in tradition and culture. It is also located in the heart of the Mississippi River Delta, allowing easy access to the river, its distributaries, Louisiana’s wetlands, and the Gulf of Mexico. The school is sometimes referred to as "Our Harvard on the Bayou;" the university bookstore even sells shirts sporting this light-hearted nickname. Nicholls is also the home of the John Folse Culinary Institute.
