About World Cup Soccer Camp
World Cup Soccer Camp was founded at the request of many parents who
were disillusioned and disappointed with the lack of instruction and subsequent
lack of improvement offered at previous camps their children had attended.
Although many of these soccer camps had good intentions, and some were even fun,
they offered very little in developing skills, tactics and character.
With that in mind, WCSC was established with three core principles:
Principle 1: Character
If our campers can evolve into great soccer players that is tremendous,
but we would rather have them evolve into great human beings first.
Therefore, at WCSC, character is priority number one. We attempt to
challenge and improve each camper’s character every day. This begins with our
commitment to excellence within a consequence-based training environment.
| Principle 2: Skills and Tactics
The key to success in any sport is mastery of the fundamentals. This is what we
are all about at WCSC—we try to build a solid soccer foundation in each and
every player, based on fundamental skills and tactics.
|
Principle 3: Fun
At WCSC, we feel training should involve hard work and sacrifice, however, this
doesn't mean it shouldn't be fun. That is why we have created a stimulating,
fun-filled program, not only to ensure improvement but also to inspire kids to
want to play soccer.

"Coach Schneider gets it! Without question, the values training I received at
camp has directly contributed to the success I have been blessed with at the
United States Military Academy, and two subsequent year-long deployments as a
Platoon Leader and Air Mission Commander with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment."

"World Cup Soccer Camp is simply the best! It not only taught me how to play
soccer properly, but also what it takes to become a champion."

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
- Every Camper Matters: At WCSC, we care about each camper and his or her
improvement. We have therefore created a curriculum to involve everyone
regardless of ability. We adhere to the Slantly-Line Concept of teaching,
in which the camper is challenged to perform at his or her own level of
competency, not to a set standard.
- "Learn Through Play" Coaching Approach: Why do 80% of kids who play sports
drop out by age 12? The main reasons are they are bored and no longer having fun.
It is no wonder they are bored; far too many of their soccer practices consist of
traditional, static drills with too much emphasis on the
"3 L's" (Lines, Lectures,
Laps). We believe that kids learn best through competitive games and activities
with the focus on fun, challenge, creativity, problem solving, and motivation.
Our curriculum involves every camper and maintains their interest while inspiring
them to become the best soccer players they can be.
- The Competitive Climate: At WCSC, we believe that progress comes best from
competitive training sessions. We want our campers, especially girls, to know
that it’s not only okay to compete with fury, but it’s expected of them. We
create a training environment called "The Competitive Climate," in which all
drills and games are designed to be as competitive as possible. This makes
training more effective and enjoyable.
- High Expectations: Children will generally do what is expected of them.
Therefore, at WCSC, our expectation is that our campers will consistently do
their absolute best. We expect them to demonstrate hard work, perseverance,
and class at all times—no excuses or exceptions!
