BYU Soccer Academy

BYU soccer camps are available for all levels of soccer players, from those just beginning competition, to those who have had a high level of experience (premier club level and ODP). Many campers also attend to showcase their abilities in hopes of someday earning a spot on a BYU soccer team roster. Camps not only will help you to improve your overall knowledge of the game, but also will prove to be a valuable scouting and recruiting tool for the head coaches.

Join women’s head coach Jennifer Rockwood and men’s head coach Chris Watkins for an exciting experience to refine your soccer skills while increasing your technical and tactical knowledge of the game.
