This camp will serve as the main pre-season camp for all Sporting CT players for the 2023-24 seasonal year. The primary focus will be on the physical condition and preparation of the players to improve strength, speed, coordination, balance and quickness. The goal of this camp is to have each player see gains in their physical performance to better sustain a high level of play throughout the course of the year. This will include SAQ exercise, soccer-specific conditioning and ball skills - the ball will not be neglected!!! The demands of this camp are to push you harder, further and faster than anywhere else.

This is a great camp to get players into shape, connect with teammates and prepare for the season in a fun and competitive environment!
