Sasho Cirovski's Maryland Boys Soccer Camp
Sasho Cirovski's Maryland Boys Soccer Camp ... much more than just training ...
College Opportunities for Student Athletes magazine, since 1991, written with several hundred college coaches, specifically to help subscribers get to college and on the team ... often with full scholarships.
Summer camps are, in our opinion, the best way to get to know the college coach you may some day play for. Coaches use camps to train and evaluate future members of their teams. Summer camps provide an ideal environment for both student athlete and coach to thoroughly prepare and improve the quality of the recruiting decision.
For these important reasons we publish our book, The Best Soccer Camps and dedicate the Spring Edition of our magazine, College Opportunities for Student Athletes to detailed reviews of only 100 summer camp operators, nationwide.

Sasho Cirovski's Maryland Boys Soccer Camp ... much more than just training ...
The University of Maryland Men’s Soccer Program defines itself and those associated with it in one word … EXCELLENCE. The Terps concluded the 2005 season with a National Championship and have reached the College Cup four of the past five years. The success of the Maryland Terrapins is a direct reflection of the philosophy and principles of Head Coach Sasho Cirovski. Sasho, the 2005 NSCAA National Coach of the Year, has coached over 27 professional players including Taylor Twellman, the 2005 MLS MVP and current National Team Member and this year’s MLS Draft #1 pick, Maurice Edu. Under Cirovski’s guidance, 14 Terps have now been drafted in the last four years including the 2005 Hermann Trophy Winner and ACC player of the year, Jason Garey.
Sasho Cirovski’s Maryland Soccer Camp for Boys is based on a simple coaching principle: young people learn and develop skills most quickly and effectively when they are having fun. The main objective is to teach each player how to fully reach their potential as a soccer player. Through learning exercises and functional training games, campers experience what it’s like to be immersed in a soccer junkie’s world for their entire camp experience. The overnight camp takes place on the University of Maryland Campus in College Park and utilizes all the facilities and amenities they have to offer. You will train and play games in some of the best facilities in the country and more importantly, you will have the opportunity to be around and play with some of the best players and coaches in the country.
The University of Maryland Soccer Camp for Boys has something to offer every participant, no matter where you are as a player. Many of the Terrapins, past and present attended the camp, impressed the coaches, and later found themselves being recruited including the likes of current MLS Players Jason Garey and Michael Dello-Russo. Come join them this summer and train with those who strive for Excellence.

Summer Camps: Much More Than Training
Every camp here has been selected in our Best Soccer Camps book. The current edition of our Best Soccer Camps book contains only 100 selected camps from the more than 500 summer soccer camps.
Is this approach working? When have you seen so many camp ads and articles, anywhere, ever? Think about this. We talk to more serious soccer families and more truly dedicated college coaches, in one year, than anyone. And we help readers find the good camps that can affect their college futures, and their lives.
Now, consider what serious players do for top camps. Competitive players make the camp a success, elevate the level of play, and challenge other players. They stimulate the coaching staff. Everyone learns more and has more fun. And sometimes, a player catches the eye of a coach because, "Those campers were working so hard they looked like college players." ... the rest ... perhaps, is history!
Readers refer to our Student Athlete magazine as the "Consumer Reports" of College-Bound sports. We are proud to have earned your respect. When we compile our Special Campers Issues we invite only camps recommended in our Best Camps book to advertise. We've done our homework. All of these camps are good!
As parents of serious student athletes, we know how expensive, yet important, good camp selection is. Add the camp's cost, airfare, new clothes, new equipment, spending money, telephone, ground transportation and family gifts ... a residential camp’s cost can total $1000!
What are the alternatives, once you've learned how to how play, for getting noticed by the college coaches?
The three most important things to do, to increase your chances of playing sports in college are:
1. Participate in the ODP
2. Win state cup with your club team
3. Attend camp at the college where you hope to play
Camp selection is the only event YOU can control. By the end of the camp, both you and the coach will know if his college is in your future. If the news is not good, ask him to recommend colleges where you can play, and to use him as a reference.
