| My rising 9th grader wants to get back into soccer. She hasn’t played in a few years, and hasn’t played travel. Just looking to get better so she can potentially play on the freshman team at school. She isn’t good enough for JV. Any suggestions? We live in NW DC. The dates for the SJC camp conflict with vacation schedules. Thanks! |

Based on your description of her current situation, the only wrong camp is one where everyone is highly skilled and very serious about soccer |

| Where are you located? I haven’t done them but have heard Golden Boot has good camps for players who are not already high level travel players. |

I am a huge fan of Achilles but not sure whether this would fit her profile reentering the sport. Here are a few options: FourSoccer: https://www.ussportscamps.com/soccer/nike/nike-soccer-camp-foursoccer-washington-dc DC Elite: https://districtelitefc.org/brazil-style-summer-camp/ DC XI: https://www.dcxiproject.com/camp PPA: https://www.ppateam.com/summer-camps DC Soccer: https://www.dcsoccerclub.org/elite-camps If she is really ambitious, Achilles and Next Star are great options. |

| The best training around is the Art of Soccer. Every kid they train gets a starting spot on the team. Just my humble opinion |

Good camps but geared primarily to younger players. |

| Check out the DC Soccer Club camps. They have a wide array of teams, so some of the lower competitive groups may attend their camps. Another option to reach out the high school coach - they often have summer workouts for kids interested in trying out. |

UMD has residential soccer camps.
My rising 9th grader is going for the first time this summer. Its only 2 nights and I think they accept all levels |
