Summer Select Training Program
Train With Purpose. Compete With Intent.
Director-Led | U12–U18 | 7 Weeks | Limited to 18 Players per Age Group
The Summer Select Training Program is a director-led, high-performance training
environment built for players committed to long-term development within the elite game.
This is not a traditional summer camp.
It is a curated, standards-driven training model aligned with the demands of MLS NEXT AD and NAL competition, designed to provide continuity within our club’s player development pathway.
Roster sizes are intentionally limited to ensure:
● Individualized coaching
● Meaningful, consistent feedback
● High-level competition within every session
● Clear accountability and performance standards
Summer Select is built for players who want more than touches — they want growth.
