A Unique Father & Son Soccer Experience
Join us for an exceptionally unique soccer camp that will build lasting memories and fine-tune your soccer skills.
MTA’s Father & Son Soccer Camp is designed to meet the goals of having a good time and developing skills of kids and adults. Each participant will receive individual and group instruction in a fun environment designed to help kids maximize their playing potential. Dad can shake off some rust and learn (or relearn) skills from some of the best coaches available. Dads, there is no need for you to have a soccer background – everyone is welcome! Players and parents will be placed into groups that allow each player to be appropriately challenged.
Note: MTA Father & Son Camp is normally held as a 3-day overnight camp at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN. Due to Covid restrictions, Camp was cancelled in 2020 and 2021. We are excited to return to St. Olaf in 2022!
** Bring your friends! Open to MTA and non-MTA families
