2025 Elite Girls Academy

*** There is a $50 fee for canceling camp.
*** This camp sells out each year.

The Elite Girls Academy is for girls that are looking for a competitive training environment. This camp is geared for girls that have participated in club soccer at the academy (U-9, U-10) or competitive (U-11, U-12 select) level, spend time on their own with a ball outside of training, and really enjoy training.

Campers will be taught proper technique and tactical application of technique through small-sided games and contests. Full-day campers will be provided with lunch, go swimming (pending available lifeguards), and compete for prizes. All activities are arranged in a fun, safe, and skill appropriate environment. The camp staff will include the Drake women’s soccer coaching staff as well as former and current players.

Drake Soccer Elite Girls Academy

“Our Elite Girls Academy has developed into a very enjoyable camp. It attracts committed players that are eager to learn and grow in the training sessions, compete in the small-sided games, and most importantly have fun getting to know other girls.”

Lindsey Horner: Drake Women’s Head Coach, USSF ‘A’ license and USC Premier.
