General Information

The Cranbrook Soccer-Fútbol Academy emphasizes personal, in-depth coaching in all tactical and technical aspects of the game. Players are divided into small groups according to age and skill level. Each day will finish with a soccer game to give the players the opportunity to compete and apply new and improved skills. Our dedicated coaches focus on developing each player’s strengths while also addressing individual areas for growth, ensuring that every participant leaves the academy more confident and capable.

The Cranbrook ELITE Soccer Camp prepares players for the demands of the upcoming season, both physically and mentally. The key to a successful season is a productive and injury-free pre-season. Practice sessions will focus on physical, technical, tactical, and mental preparedness. We use an intense combination of these elements to get players ready for the season. Dave Brown, the outstanding head soccer coach of Cranbrook Varsity Girls' and assistant coach of Varsity Boys', will be on staff.
