July 14-16, 2023       Boys High School Team Camp

Space is Limited- reserve your spot today!

If you wish to reserve a spot for your team, coaches need to contact Camp Director Aaron Faro at [email protected] .  At this time you will be provided with more detailed information about the program, pricing and registration process. All registration forms and payments will be collected by the high school coach.

This camp is for high school teams interested in receiving both high level coaching as well as intentional team development. The Messiah Men's Soccer Program believes that championship teams grow from deep roots of team chemistry, combined with a fierce competitive drive to be excellent. Throughout the three days of this camp your team will be challenged both on and off the field in preparation for your upcoming season.

Each team will receive high level coaching from one of the members of our elite Academy Coaching Staff. The appointed coach will take the lead on training sessions, giving you as a coach the opportunity to step back and watch your team train "The MESSIAH WAY." The evening sessions will allow you the opportunity to play 11vs11 against other teams that are attending camp. You will play multiple games against different opponents throughout the weekend.

Goalkeeper Training: We offer an excellent goalkeeper training section as part of our Team Camp. They train exclusively as goalkeepers for a portion of each session and then work with their team for competitions and games. Sign up for goalkeeper training during the online registration process.

TESTIMONIAL FROM HIGH SCHOOL COACH: Aaron, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff once again. We had a team meeting Sunday to discuss the upcoming season, and all the players comments concerning the team camp were complimentary. I have been coaching high school boys for the past 20 years, and during that time I have sent players to many different camps. I can honestly say that I have never experienced coaches and college players that have displayed such patience, sincerity, and compassion for the campers. We have a young and inexperienced team this year, and John and Benji did a great job with them. Chris and I also appreciated our time with Coach McCarty on Saturday afternoon. Take Care and God Bless, Dave Klinger, (Selinsgrove Asst. Coach)
