The BOSTON
SOCCER ACADEMY offers 3 overnight programs:

in Grades 9-12.

The Elite High School Overnight & College Prep Camp is for players who will
be playing at High School level in the coming Fall. These programs are run side by side. The overall program sets 2
concurrent goals:
- To
prepare players for the coming Fall soccer season,

College level if they so desire.
These camps are offered at both Curry College & Lawrence Academy.
The Advanced Overnight Camp is for Middle School Aged soccer players. It is designed to be a step up from our popular Advanced Day camp. It is only offered at Curry College (August 5-9).

theme: Positional play - the morning sessions players opt to be trained by
position: defenders, midfielders, forwards.

theme: Principles of play - sessions can focuses on defence & defending as
well as attacking play & skills. Wherever possible the players are trained
in teams in the afternoon sessions.
- Evening
theme - The evening program consists of games followed by talks by highly
esteemed & experienced staff. The games reflect some of the themes worked
upon earlier in the day. Evening talks follow. The camp is divided into groups.
Some talks examine the College recruiting process and what is required to play
at that level. Topics that may be covered include contacting College coaches,
dealing with the NCAA and going through the recruiting process in general.
Other talks discuss ways to improve your game and enhance your play for the
coming Fall season.
