Camps & Clinics
FC Dallas aims to be North Texas' source for soccer development. It is the responsibility of the professional club to invest in and ultimately develop local soccer players and coaches. As such, FC Dallas has created a development program consisting of year round soccer camps and training programs, known as the FC Dallas School of Excellence.
School of Excellence Soccer Training Camps
FC Dallas offer five unique levels of development:
- Young Player Development (Level 1) Designed for players aged 6-9 years of age
- Academy Player Development (Level 2) Designed for youth academy players aged 6-9 years of age
- Advanced Player Development (Level 3) Designed for players aged 10-16 years of age
- Elite Player Residential Camp (Level 4) Overnight camp for serious boys players aged 11-18 years
- Pro-Amateur Training Camps (Level 5) Designed for adult players 18+, Co-ed, and Over-30 divisions
Training sessions are open to any player, regardless of soccer club affiliation, who is interested in improving their skills and learning proper techniques utilized by the professional team. These are programs offered by the professional team and therefore do not require skills releases.
FC Dallas School of Excellence programs are specifically designed for players and coaches to develop solid fundamentals of soccer in an educational, structured, energized and professional manner at one of the best soccer complexes in the country. Participants will receive 1-on-1 instruction time with many members of the current FC Dallas team and coaching staff. FC Dallas professional players will be on site to lend their expertise and interact with participants.
Thousands of youth soccer players have graduated through the School of Excellence programs since their inception in 2006. The programs are directed by a faculty of knowledgeable coaches, including FC Dallas Head Coach Schellas Hyndman and other members of the current FC Dallas professional coaching staff. Our objective is to provide each participant from the beginner to the advanced player, with practical soccer knowledge of professional training techniques and tactics to ensure that each player can develop to their full potential.
All programs sold out in 2009, so register for 2010 today! Spaces are limited and each camp session only has room for 60 players.
