Getting into a UK Elite Soccer Camp is a simple process. Simply go to http://www.ukelite.com/Soccer- Camps/Soccer.asp and start by searching for a camp location near your area. Camps are available in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, New York State, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, and Washington State.

Once you have found a convenient camp location, select a date, or a range of dates that suits your child's schedule. With over 550 summer camp dates, 57 residential camp dates, and locations in 16 states, this is a fairly accessible program. Every participating child receives a Reebok Ball and a t-shirt.

There are a variety of camps offered by UK Elite: Residential, Day, Evening, Petite, Steps 2 Success, Sportsweeks, and High School. Brochures for each can be found here: http://www.ukelite.com/Soccer- Camps/downloads.asp

Here is a brief description of each type of camp:

Residential Camps offer an intense five day soccer experience with the best staff UK Elite has to offer. Prices vary but are usually around $500-600. Team discounts are available if a minimum of ten players sign up together.

Day and Evening Camps are one-off sessions that offer a more condensed soccer experience.UK Petite Camps target preschoolers aged 3-4, with an emphasis on fun. Like the residential camps, these are five day experiences that take place in small group settings.

Steps 2 Success provides the 5-14 year old age group with the fundamentals required to fully develop their soccer game.

UK Sportsweek Camps are different from most UK Elite camps in that they are not soccer-specific. Instead of focusing on one sport, this camp gives participating children the chance to play a variety of sports, and participate in a number of varying activities. Sports such as kwik cricket, flag rugby, rounders, bowls, superstar circuits, gaelic football, soccer, mini olympics and team relays make up the curriculum.

High School camps target older school aged players who wish to prepare for the school season with UK Elite's professional staff. Incorporating tactical, technical, and practical training, this is the total solution for high school players looking for an edge.

UK Elite also offers a technical training program that offers specialized training in various areas, such as goalkeeping, goalscoring, dribbling (Elite Feet), soccer-specific fitness training, and Brazilian technical training.

Soccer is a wonderful sport that emphasizes the importance of teamwork, perseverance, a healthy lifestyle, and other important life skills. If your child shows an interest in soccer, UK Elite is an option to consider if the location is convenient and the price fits your budget.
