Absolutely. My DD has attended many camps over the years and this one ranks as her favorite. Very challenging and fun. Definitely not a "recreation" camp. Nice thing about this camp, besides the professionalism of the Camp Coaches, is the level of skills of the other camp attendees. They help lift up the intensity and skill development. It's a great value for the money.

Her second most favorite camp is Mia Hamm's Team First. Team First Camp is only half day for three days, whereas Premier One (One Soccer Schools) is five days, 8 hours a day.

Not to be an overprotective mom but I still think that 5 days a week/ 8 hrs a day is a bit much for a 10yr old. Maybe I am just not ready to let go but I still don't just drop off my dd at her regular 2.5hr practices. I stay or at least let another parent I trust be in charge of her. I am sure this is a great camp and a very safe camp but gosh...it just seems a bit intense at such a young age. Just my humble opinion...don't beat me up please.

Totally understand. Camps and practices are not Day Care for us.

Our DD started half day or less camps at the age of 4 or 5 (Challenger camps) when her older sis was going to them. She wouldn't just watch, she was out there having a blast. At the age of 7, she was in for all day camps. We worried about it being too much stress and too exhausting, but she has been injury free, maintained excellent conditioning, and keeps asking for more. We have never said to our DD that she "Has" to go to camps. And especially important is her attitude: She loves it and feeds off of the atmosphere and enthusiasm that comes from the camp.

Either I or my spouse/boss/better half attend the camp each day or if we have a car pool set up it's with another parent we have known for years, and we still show up at the camps. Nice side benefit is that we have met other soccer parents without having to worry about who is on what team or who is playing what position and all of the political crud that detracts from just enjoying watching your DD play because she loves the sport.

It does sound like alot, but I think it's dependent on each DD's goals, endurance, and desires. For ours, The Premier One camp format is the best fit.

Regarding the day program (one. Juniors, one. Premier and one. GK Premier). For a group of 10 teammates the team discount is $269, each. The camp includes 37 hours of professional training, pro uniform kit, match quality ball and backpack. What we assure parents is that their child improves their confidence, becomes a better player and leaves with a greater sense of passion/respect for the game. We have a relentless work ethic to leave the greatest impact and everlasting impression in each of the players in the 5 day period.

It will be a great prep week as well for the Advanced College program in D/FW.

My DD has been going to this camp for 7 years, this year will be her 8th year with the One Soccer Program. She started when they did not have a junior program. The coaches that they have are some of the best in the nation. They actually care about all of the kids in the program. The kids are not a number or a dollar sign. They try to help the child. Once your child attends the program it will be hard to go to another soccer camp. The standard and quality of coaching is great.
