Academy camp is recommended for 8U, 9U and 10U Academy players.

Who is eligible for Academy Camp:

  • Rising Academy players born in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

HFC offers camps during the summer for rising 8U, 9U & 10U players who will be participating in the HFC Academy Program. This camp is staffed by the HFC Academy Directors and members of the HFC Staff, providing the players with a great opportunity to get acclimated to the demands of the program, learn new skills, and have fun playing soccer.

The basic camp structure each week is for players to do skill training in the mornings, small sided games and scrimmages in the afternoon.  Throughout the week various topics and techniques will be covered, these include juggling, dribbling, passing & possession, shooting & finishing. Players will be trained to refine their game using developmentally appropriate exercises and small sided games.

At the end of each camp day from 2:00-3:30pm players have the option of ending the day with a swim at the pool (Asheville only - Swim is optional). Players are taken off the field during that time in an attempt to avoid heat exhaustion as that is often the hottest time of the day.  

Camp Core Curriculum:
Rondos
Individual Ball Mastery
Transitional Exercises
Possession Based Games
Finishing

For more information about the Academy Camps please contact the Academy Director - Sani McKenzie, or the Assistant Director - Benjamin Lloyd
