Our Steel Xperience camps offer a unique approach to a sports camp. We offer soccer overnight and full-day camps at various locations across the country where we emphasize our core values of Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, and Commitment as well as first-class field instruction. All of our camp directors and coaches have gone through the Steel Sports Coaching System curriculum, which encourages positive coaching and teaching life lessons through sports.

Our overnight options, for boys and girls ages 10-17, start on Sunday afternoon and run through Thursday afternoon. All meals are included, starting with Sunday’s dinner and ending with lunch on Thursday. Our full-day program’s schedule runs concurrently with our overnight camp and runs from 8:30-5 pm. Full-day camp is for 7-17 years old and lunch is provided daily.

Throughout the week, players will be exposed to individual skills, small group games, as well as full-sided games. There will be classroom sessions, introducing such topics as nutrition, and the importance of sleep, and at our college level Xperience camps, college seminars to help athletes with the recruiting process. Our coach-to-player ratio is 1 to 10 to insure proper supervision in the dorms and enhanced athletic performance on the field.
