The Valparaiso University women's soccer team is holding two camps this summer for girls this summer at the Eastgate Soccer Fields.

The first camp, set for June 9-13 is a team camp for high school players. The camp will be held in two sessions, the first from either 9-11 a.m. or 2-4 p.m. based on the team's availability, with all team's returning in the evening from 5:30-8 p.m. The early session will focus on training teams in technical and tactical aspects of the game, with teams playing two 40-minute games in the evening session. The cost of the team camp is $175 per player.

The second camp is a skills camp to be held from June 30-July 3 for ages 7-18. The camp will run from 5:30-8 p.m. and is designed to refine each player's technical skills while providing a solid foundation for learning the skills necessary to continue to grow and enjoy the game. For the advanced player, the camp will also emphasize the tactical awareness needed to transition from the high school to college level. The cost of the skills camp is $125 per player.
