The
Soccer FIT Academy™ YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CAMP is dynamic soccer training program designed specifically for the
recreation and academy level player to develop a passion for the game through a fun,
yet challenging soccer environment. The camp is for U8, U9, U10, U11 and U12 players
who play at the recreational, academy or developmental level, yet want to build on their abilities and soccer experiences.
The training curriculum is designed to nurture growth in all components of the game through age and developmentally appropriate
activities and information. Unlike the PREMIER version of the Soccer FIT Academy
camp series, Youth Development Camp participants will attend all four sessions offered (so it is not necessary to choose
which sessions they want to attend). Also, unlike the Premier version, the Youth Development Camp does not teach positional
or functional play. Rather, it focuses on building comfort and confidence with the ball at the player’s feet, building
on foot-eye coordination, introducing foot flexibility and body awareness and teaching solid decision making.
The SOCCER F.I.T. ACADEMY™ is the official off-season training program for the Clay
County Soccer Club. The camp is directed by Carlos Manuel, Clay County Soccer Club
Director of Coaching and Florida Youth Soccer Association (FYSA) Olympic Development Program (ODP) Staff Coach. Carlos holds
his USSF National B, USSF National Youth and NSCAA Level 1 GK Diploma and is a long time Jacksonville-area professional youth
coach who’s developed some of the best soccer players and teams to come out of the Northeast Florida area. Assistant
Camp Director is Matt Hollyoak, standout colligate player at University of North Florida,
former England Youth National Team player and CCSC Premier Team Coach. The Soccer FIT Academy may also bring in some of
the top professional youth soccer coaches and players in Florida to be Academy Instructors. The player to coach ratio is
typically kept around 11 players to 1 instructor. Spaces are limited, so please register early!
