How to find reputable soccer camp?
Usually soccer clubs or any soccer organization that your child is a member of, either endorsed a certain soccer camp that they are associated with or they run their own camp. This would be probably the safest choice since you'd know exactly what to expect.
But if your club don't run or suggest any soccer camp or you simply look for something better or different, then the best thing is:
- Ask around.
- Ask other players, not just from your club or team.
- See if you know anybody whose kid play for other local club and find out which soccer camp he participates in.
- Get suggestion and opinion from actual participants or their parents.
- You can also gather some useful information from reviews and testimonials on the Internet.

Other aspects to consider while choosing a soccer camp
US Soccer Camp System
It's probably not a surprise to you that the main goal for soccer camps is to make money. The system and the structure of soccer camps for young soccer players in the US are definitely different than I had experienced as a youth player in Europe. So is the entire soccer system.Which one is better? I am not sure.
Both have positive and negative aspects. My parents definitely like the European system much better, because they didn't have to pay anything. But this is a whole different topic that could be discussed maybe as a Topic of the Week sometime.
Back to soccer camps in the US...
Types of Soccer Camps
As I have said, reality is that soccer camps in the US are intended to bring profit. It's simply a business.
But this is not necessarily a bad thing. For one, if the soccer camp wants to stay in business and build a good reputation, most likely it'll be run very professionally. That's the good news for us, parents. On the other hand there are good and bad businesses, so are the soccer camps.
That's why it's very important to search for references from other participants. Don't just ask the people who run the camp.
