William Jewell All Star Soccer Camps
William Jewell All Star Soccer Camps ... 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.

Few programs in the country have risen to the top of college soccer as quickly as William Jewell College. Boasting a men’s program and women’s program that have each reached the National Final Four in the past five years, William Jewell College also has one of the nation’s most successful soccer camp programs. Directed by Chris Cissell, 2006 NSCAA/adidas National Coach of the Year, the William Jewell College All Star Soccer Camps provide residential camps that educate the young player, challenge the select player and highlight the elite high school college soccer prospect. The key factors to the WJC All Star Soccer Camps success can be best answered by the camp director and men’s and women’s Head Coach at WJC Chris Cissell.
“The staff enjoys teaching the game and watching campers having fun developing their soccer skills in a positive environment. One of the reasons our camps have grown like they have is due to the repeat campers that keep coming back every year. The campers enjoy the environment so much some of them choose to play their college soccer at William Jewell College. Six residential campers from 2006 were recruited from camp and will be on the WJC varsity teams in 2007.”
The staff at the William Jewell College All Star Soccer Camps includes some of the Midwest’s most successful coaches and players:
Chris Cissell: Head Coach of men’s and women’s soccer at WJC; 2006 NSCAA/adidas NAIA

The facilities at William Jewell College are second to none. With four grass fields and the field-turf stadium game field, the campers have room to train and perform without being crowded or compromised. Instructors have the space to teach and the players can be a part of a big camp while getting small group instruction. “Our facilities are fantastic so we never get off schedule even if the weather isn’t ideal,” said WJC All Star Soccer Camps Director Chris Cissell. “Every day at camp is like a vacation with soccer included.”
Things players can expect at All Star Soccer Camp:
• You’ll play a lot of soccer

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.
