Welcome to the Offical Camp site of the The University of Akron Men's Soccer program.

As the Head Coach of the U.S. Men's National Olympic Team, The University of Akron Men's Soccer program and the Akron Soccer Camp Director, I have heard from parents and coaches time and again, how players who attended the Akron Soccer Camp have come back with their skills improved, understanding of the game increased and enthusiasm for the game renewed. I am sure you will agree that, being exposed to the 'Akron Environment' of intensive training, challenging competition, and some of the top college soccer players in the country will improve your play.
