Hello all, wondering if anyone has experience with Red Bulls residential 1-week soccer camps requiring tryouts on April 14th:
https://www.rbnytraining.com/user-pages/public/camps/index.asp?F_REGION_ID=42 What level of play? MLS and ECNL level? EDP 1 level? etc. Thank you in advance for your help. |
| Who’s better? Red Bulls, DCU or Philly Union MLS Next teams? |
| No idea but Naval Academy has really good sports camps. |
| Thank you. Part of reason I was looking at Red Bulls is for cooler summer weather. Even 4 - 5 hours north is less humid and cooler. |
Yes, New Jersey is like Finland in the summer |
Red Bulls > Philly Union > DCU |
It depends on age group. You can look at the MLS standings by age group. |
| SYC 07 > Red Bulls |
haha. agree. kids don't really care if it's a few degrees hotter and more humid. |
SYC 07s beat Red Bulls who were #1 in US |
Not to take away from SYC's win but to be fair, RB didn't have a few of their starters playing. |

We've had two of our kids go through the Red Bulls RDS training camp; each time spending a week at a residential camp. It's a quality camp that is very professionally run. Simon Barrow was the name of the RDS manager who ran the camp program both years, and I was quite impressed with it.
The kids spend probably 6 hours+ of soccer plus other activities that the camp organizes. There is a minimum level of soccer proficiency that attendees need to have, but even then they will sometimes break the kids into different groups based on skill level. The Red Bulls own MLS Academy youth teams attend some weeks of these camps as well, although they are grouped into their own group and practice/train among themselves; they do participate in the small-sided scrimmages, however, usually playing a year or two up. Happy to answer more questions but overall we are glad we did it and we think it was worth it. |
What skill level were your boys? |
