Gustavus Adolphus College: Gustie Soccer Camps

Our Gustie Soccer Camps are grounded in developing the individual assets of each player and prepare them to succeed at the next level.  We believe in developing students of the game.  The best way to accomplish this is to develop the all-around soccer player by creating a platform on which to develop speed, coordination, flexibility and balance along with technical prowess, tactical awareness and mental strength.   

We empower youth soccer players by inspiring them to strive for excellence, engaging them in the “next level” athletic experience, developing them as leaders, and encouraging them to learn and work hard in all aspects of their game. Our approach to coaching focuses on the positives of each player and encourages them to focus on their strengths, while also providing feedback on what the next step in their development entails. By focusing on their strengths, Gustie Soccer Camps help accelerate the learning process, builds confidence, improves motivation and increases each camper’s passion for the game of soccer.
