Philosophy
Champion's Edge Camps & Clinics inspire athletes with a dynamic collaboration of the most creative, knowledgeable coaches in the country. Our camp progression takes the athlete through all phases of the game, thoughtfully integrating the technical and tactical components in an efficient, innovative way. We challenge athletes to be disciplined in the fundamentals and principles of attack and defense while, encouraging creative decision making with limited time and space. We work hard to provide each athlete with feedback to promote proper technique and tactical awareness. The entire staff of Champion's Edge is dedicated to creating a positive learning environment where the athlete feels safe to take risks and constantly push the limits of their game.
The Champion's Edge staff highlights our commitment to excellence. Our staff consists of NCAA Division I, II & III college coaches and select international caliber athletes. We do not employ college students as coaches in order to maintain the highest possible level of instruction at all times. Athletes will benefit from exposure to all of our coaches during morning and afternoon skill sessions. In addition, each coach is assigned a ‘team’ for full field evening matches. Click the staff link on our website for a detailed list of our coaches.
We group athletes at camps and clinics according to their experience level, as indicated on their registration forms. Individuals from a team are grouped with members of their team, unless otherwise specified by a team representative or coach. Goal keeper specific training is provided at all of our camps and clinics.
