After lunch, players will return to the field for our tactical/match awareness session followed by small-sided games. Each evening, competitive matches will be played, giving coaches the opportunity to observe the players' understanding of the topics covered that day. Special activities will take place during the week that will include a campus tour as well as informative sessions on what it takes to make it as a top college player.

Our staff will be comprised of only the top collegiate, ODP, and club coaches available. Additionally, we will have premier college players on staff as well. The camp is open to boys and girls ages 4-14, who will receive an official Rice Owls Soccer Camp t-shirt. Please bring your own soccer ball!
