United Soccer Academy's High School Team Weeks are the premier High School pre-season camp in the region and USA's flagship High School Camp. High School Teams from throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania have enjoyed this pre-season event which has a reputation for high level instruction and competitive scrimmages all at one location.
The day is broken down in to training sessions in the mornings, followed by scrimmages in the afternoon. Training sessions are specific to the pre-season with a technical and conditioning emphasis but all sessions are tailored to meet the individual needs of the team. Through interaction with the High School coach.
Players are placed in teams based on where they would fall within the school squads i.e. Varsity, JV and Freshman and those groups of teams are pooled together for scrimmages against other High Schools throughout the week. Varsity squads play against other Varsity squads and freshmen play against other freshman squads, etc.

Multi-Team Camp - Goalkeepers
The goalkeeper position requires specific individual attention. Our goalkeeping curriculum was designed by Alan Thompson (N.W. Regional School of Excellence, England) with technical input from Martin Prickett (Watford Football Club, England).
This goalkeeping curriculum has been designed to ensure that all goalkeepers experience a well-rounded camp experience. The sessions begin in a low pressure technical environment and build into game realistic situations. Goalkeepers will have numerous opportunities to face shooting practice from various teams at both the Varsity, JV and Freshmen level.
The Goalkeepers will spend the majority of the morning sessions away from their team and with the specific goalkeeper trainers. In the afternoons, or for specific tactical sessions they will return to their teams. All keepers will return to their team in the afternoon for the scrimmage and tactical portion of the camp. Trainers will spend time during the sessions dealing with the extremely important issues of both concentration and confidence. Coaching in game situations and constructive feedback of performance will reinforce this point.
.
Single Team Camp - Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers in Single Team Camps will be incorporated into the regular team training environment. In instances where there are a large number of goalkeepers present at a single team site then s specific goalkeeping curriculum may be ran.

Whether it was our younger team of Freshman or our more advanced team of veteran players.....the instruction was outstanding and the players improved dramatically throughout the week."
