Summer Camp

Philadelphia Union Summer Soccer Camp

Hosted with HSC & HTRSA

Join us for our annual summer select training event! Entering its third year, the HTRSA/HSC partnership with the Philadelphia Union Youth Trainers brings professional MLS-level coaching to the HTRSA Soccer Complex.

This co-ed camp is designed for players ages 6–15 who want to improve their game in an environment that prioritizes energy and creativity over stationary drills.

Development Through Play

  • Professional Curriculum: Training sessions designed by the Philadelphia Union to improve technical footwork and ball mastery.

  • Game-Based Learning: Skill development through small-sided games and tactical challenges rather than long lines.

  • Positive Environment: A focus on building confidence and a love for the game through fun, high-energy competition.

  • Age-Appropriate Groups: Players are grouped by age and skill level to ensure the optimal balance of challenge and success.

Choose Your Session

We offer two flexible options to meet your player’s needs:

  • Half-Day: Perfect for younger players or those looking for a focused morning of technical growth.

  • Full-Day: An immersive experience featuring morning skill-work and afternoon tactical scrimmages.
