Do the coaches recruit at your camps?Coaches are always looking to recruit the best possible student athletes that align with their specific team strategy and vision. Camps are another “touch point” in the recruiting process. Coaches are always recruiting whether they attend a tournament or a camp. A tournament can only provide a coach one aspect of a player’s game. The camp can help a coach define character, skillset across multiple sessions, personality, and other intangibles. A good soccer player alone does not necessarily meet a coach’s needs. There are many good soccer players around the world. Coaches are looking for the “right” players that align with specific team values. High academics are extremely important for the schools involved with our camps.
-
Are the coaches listed on the website guaranteed to work the camp?100% yes! There are times when there is a family emergency, canceled flight or other unforeseen circumstances where a coach may be late or not make the camp. If a coach is listed on the Soccer Masters™ website, the coach has confirmed his/her attendance in writing.
