What’s So Different About This Camp?
1
We Are Selective:
We intentionally limit participation in each session of the Frostburg Soccer Camps program.  We have designed a unique program that provides customized and innovative soccer and leadership activities on the best fields on our campus.  We are not just a for-profit soccer business that is after the bottom-line, but a soccer program interested in sharing knowledge and our passion for the game.
2
We Guarantee a College-Level Coach will train Your Team for Every Session:
Our staff is comprised ONLY of coaches with U.S. college experience! We do not have paid "trainers" or current players responsible for providing instruction. Players and teams will be instructed and evaluated in all training sessions and games by coaches with college coaching experience who clearly understand and will convey the demands of the collegiate game.
3
We Provide Unique Leadership and College Prep Activities:
Every day at our camp, a unique leadership seminar or activity is conducted for all players.  We also conduct a college seminar with the goal of having every camper develop a clearer understanding of the college selection process and the role sports can play in their college decision.  Our professional staff will put special emphasis on the psychological aspects of the competitive soccer-athlete and the role leadership plays in team and peer groups.
4
We Challenge Every Player in Every Session:
Our first priority is to improve your play for the upcoming season.  The key to any "advanced camp" is to create field sessions and competitive games that challenge every player and that is precisely our focus. Our staff will work with each player to target their most urgent training needs.
5
We Use Only our Best Fields & All Rooms are Air-Conditioned and have Microwave/Refrigerator Units:
All of the grass fields we use on the FSU campus are irrigated which makes them plush and green all summer!  We also access our Sprinturf Stadium field for evening games as well. We use ONLY air-conditioned rooms with microwave/refrigerator units for ALL campers and our dining services are outstanding.

It is conveniently located just off I-68 a little more than 2 hours from either metro area. Because of its location, the climate and elevation make it ideal for summer soccer training and the soccer fields at FSU are irrigated and kept in beautiful condition all summer. The residence halls are air-conditioned, have modern furniture, microwave/refrigerator units, cable TV, internet access, and are just steps from the Dining Hall. Players are housed in double rooms in a designated upper-class hall in "quads" or 4-room halls that share a large bathroom.
