University of Florida Gator Soccer Camps ... much more than just training ...

The Gator Soccer Camp ... Where Gator SoccerWas Born

UF (Gainesville) chose Becky Burleigh to head the new Women's Program in '95, budgeted $3.3 million, and set their sights on the top 20, a shock wave went through soccer. Florida's top players all knew Becky and Assistant Vic Campbell, highly respected ODP coaches, and UF's awesome reputation ... Gators don't just play ... they play to win.

With in-state tuition then only $3094 per year, Florida's best players, previously lured to other states, changed course for Gainesville. Update your UF academic file, too. Gators long ago shed their party rep; today they are serious students who still have fun, then graduate into great jobs in the Sun Belt's robust economy and beyond.
The new Lady Gators with 18 freshmen, had a phenomenal 14-5-1 first season. They thrived in The Swamp evolving a style of play designed to devour perennial champions, UNC-Chapel Hill. In '98 the four year old Gators defeated the Tar Heels, capturing a Division I National Championship ... making Becky the first female head coach ever to do so.

Vic Campbell ... is again hunting the hungriest players wherever they grow ... a voracious new species of Gator is now being bred in The Swamp.

Elite camp sessions have been expanded ... for meat eaters only ... call now ... space in The Swamp is limited ...

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.
