Camp Program
Junior Overnight Camp:
For parents desiring a safe, fun-filled experience for their sons, this is it. On-field training, video presentations and direct interaction with UCLA's coaches and players make for a week that is challenging and fulfilling for all players, regardless of skill level.

A limited enrollment allows our coaching staff and counselors to give each player the personal attention he deserves. A stimulating schedule combined with vigilant supervision - the dorms are staffed by our Men's Soccer coaches - makes this a sleep-away session both parents and kids can feel good about.

Senior Overnight Camp:
Whether you aspire to a high-profile Division I career or just play for the love of the game, the UCLA High School Camp will send you home with a smile. Teaming up with players your own age and ability will make for an enhanced and rewarding experience. Evenings you will compete in games, scrimmages and a tournament from which a squad will be selected to vie against members of our current Men's Soccer team.

Get a glimpse of life after high school. From meals in the dorm to evenings learning about the college process, you will walk away ready for the future.

Striker & Finishing Camp:
Whether you are a defender or a forward, these three days of focused finishing will open your eyes and amp up your skill. Training, proper technique and repetition are the keys to goal-scoring prowess. Our coaching staff will share the latest ideas and techniques. Fancy yourself the equal of Ronaldo or Drogba? After this session you'll definitely be on your way.

Goalkeeper Camp:
This summer's Goalkeeper camp will feature a special guest in the net. Zak Abdel, former goalkeeper coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA, and currently training the Men's national team will share his knowledge and passion with campers. Come share the unique perspective of goalkeeping at the highest level.

Location
The UCLA Boys Soccer Camp will be held on the playing fields of the UCLA campus, including the Intramural Field, as well as Marshall Field at Drake Stadium, home of the UCLA Men's and Women's Soccer teams. Overnight campers are housed in UCLA residence halls, and meals are served in UCLA's award-winning dining halls. Campers are placed in double- or triple-occupancy rooms, and the camp staff will make every effort to honor roommate requests. If no roommate is specified, roommates will be assigned according to age.

The check-in location for both day camps is Lot 7. The check-in location for all overnight soccer camps is Dykstra/DeNeve Plaza.

After-Care (Day Camps only)
After-Care provides supervision for those day campers whose parents require a later pick-up time. Camp staff will supervise your child in the camp game room; activities include board games, arts & crafts, and watching movies. You may pick up your camper any time between 3:30 and 5:30pm. Separate instructions will be emailed to you at least one week before the camp, directing you to the pick-up location (in Dykstra Hall) as the campers will no longer be at the facility where you dropped them off. The cost is $125 for Session #1 (five days) and $100 for Session #2 (four days) and cannot be pro-rated.

Waiver
The waiver of liability is required for every camper, and must be signed by the camper's parent or guardian before s/he may participate in any camp activities. The waiver can be printed here , or a copy will be sent to you following registration.

Health Care & Insurance
Each camper must provide his/her own insurance. Parents or guardians will be billed for any medical care given at the UCLA Medical Center or other hospital facilities. Athletic trainers are on duty to administer to minor injuries or illness. Camp medical staff is NOT responsible for administering prescribed medication.

Refund Policy
There is a $75 per-session cancellation fee for ALL cancellations made at least two weeks prior to the first day of camp. If cancellation, for any reason including medical, is made within two weeks of the camp, there is a $150 cancellation fee. All cancellations must be submitted in writing (by fax or email) by 5pm on the day before the start of camp. No refunds will be issued for cancellation after this time. No refunds will be issued upon expulsion or voluntary withdrawal from camp. No credit for future camps will be issued. You will receive an emailed confirmation of your cancellation request once it has been received.

Alumni Association & Faculty/Staff Discount
Children of current members of the UCLA Alumni Association, Faculty or Staff are eligible for a $25 discount per session. A photocopy of the UCLA Alumni Association membership card or UCLA faculty/staff ID must be submitted in order for the discount to be applied.
