Sharpen your touch and enjoy daily games in this 2-week soccer camp for high school students in Summer Discovery’s UCLA program.
Camp Description
Keep the ball moving and your summer in play. Spend two hours a day on the field with coaching, competitive drills, and teammates who are just as keen for the next game.
In this camp you will work on first touch, passing, dribbling, and shooting before putting your skills into games and scrimmages. Coaches teach as the action unfolds, helping you find space, keep possession, and decide when to pass or take a shot. You’ll train in groups matched to your ability.
Try a one-on-one move, work on finishing near goal, or learn where to stand to make an opponent’s next pass harder. Speed, agility, and conditioning are part of the fun through competitive drills. With regular coaching and plenty of play, you can practice a change and get right back into the game with your teammates.

Why Soccer Camp
A summer of soccer means more chances to try the move, make the pass, and go again. Coaching gives you something specific to work on; games give you the chance to use it.
Enjoy time outdoors, meet players from across the program, and share the pace and energy of a sport you love. The goal is to keep improving while having a good time on the field.
Who Should Attend?
For students who have completed 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade.
For players who look for any excuse to get out on the field, this camp offers plenty of soccer with new teammates. School, club, and recreational players are grouped by ability. You should already know the game; sessions move at match speed and suit current players better than beginners learning the rules.

Your Summer at UCLA
UCLA gives high-school students the opportunity to explore an academic interest while experiencing university life in Los Angeles, a city where entertainment, technology, business, science, and culture constantly intersect. The campus has its own community and rhythm while connecting students to a wider environment built around creativity and new ideas.
Students learn alongside peers, navigate a large campus, and gain independence through everyday choices and responsibilities. Time outside class expands the experience through friendships, campus life, and opportunities to notice which subjects and settings hold their attention. For families, UCLA offers a valuable combination of substantive academics, personal growth, and clearer direction about what a student may want to study, experience more deeply, or pursue next.
After successfully finishing this course, you will be awarded a certification completion for your accomplishment.
