About
The Competitive Camp experience is built for serious players who want to elevate their game through advanced training and game intelligence. Led by current and former professional players and elite coaches, sessions are designed to challenge athletes technically, tactically, and mentally.
Players receive high-intensity training focused on ball mastery, positional play, decision-making, and match awareness — preparing them for club, high school, or collegiate competition. Each camp combines professional methodology with the high-energy, competitive environment that defines Pro 11 Soccer.

What is the coach-to-player ratio?
Competitive Camps maintain a low ratio—typically 1 coach for every 10–12 players—to ensure meaningful feedback, positional guidance, and individualized coaching.

Yes. Refunds or credits are available based on our camp policy. Credits may be transferred to future Pro 11 programs if player schedules change.
Is there an opportunity to be selected for the Pro 11 Tournament Team?
