Join us on the Pitch of Possibilities in the Summer of 2024
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO
A soccer camp that focuses on player development but allows
kids to be kids in the great outdoors of the Rocky Mountains.
“Fields and Kelly run amazing summer camps, balancing many things, but particularly providing a good mix of fun and training in their camps--river rafting and intense games under the lights on a summer evening. Fields and Kelly are two of the most dedicated soccer coaches I know of and are so "in" the youth soccer world, finding ways to help parents navigate what is important and what is not, having the proper perspective. As well, they are two extremely driven individuals and are able to make a lot happen with their unique energy.”
What are your options for the summer camp?
Residential: This camp option allows the players the full-immersive experience of camp. They will check-in to a dorm with one other roommate and eat, sleep, and play Sporting S7v7ns and all that we have to offer.
Extended Day: This camp option is for those that want to spend the entire day with the camp but make their own lodging accommodations. While breakfast will be on their own, we will provide lunch and dinner for all our extended day campers.
Day Camper: This camp option allows players the freedom to attend only the on-field sessions provided that day. They will be picked up after every session and on their own for all meals and down time.
Soccer Stars: This camp is for the young players that just can’t wait for their turn at Sporting S7v7ns! With an age-appropriate curriculum, we make sure to instill a love and passion for the game in our Soccer Stars as well as give them the proper instruction for their basic skillset. Join us for a morning or an afternoon session that is fun, exciting, and a great learning experience. ALL Soccer Stars will get their very own ball because that means a great deal to us - it is in our mission to provide this!
What all is included in the camp?
Sporting S7v7ns Academy is a destination summer soccer camp. By design, we want our participants to experience more on and off the field. Oftentimes the memories that stick with our participants over the years are not those made competing, but those unforeseen experiences with newly formed friendships. We combine strong technical and tactical development with unique social and leadership mentoring through activities found solely in these destinations. White water rafting, ziplining, river tubing, hot springs, outdoor yoga, and hiking are just a few examples of how we spend our down time at Sporting S7v7ns Academy.
Our Sporting S7v7ns Soccer Academy includes:
On-field sessions/instruction
Classroom Sessions
Off-field fun: River rafting, yoga recovery (extra-curricular activities may change depending on unforeseen circumstances)
Detailed player evaluation provided

What is this 7v7 philosophy and how will my player benefit from it?
Our 7-aside training methodology has proven to provide 36% more opportunities to make decisions, execute meaningful touches, and solve complex game scenarios while not changing technique of context of an 11-aside match.
Think about it… in an 11-aside match, players are often waiting for the ball to come into their area or their side of the field. Not in 7v7. Not here. Here, they will be involved in almost every play therefore increasing their opportunities to improve.
The best part about it? Everything is transferrable to the real game. Players will play on age-appropriate goals which means they are shooting on full-size frames and goalkeepers will be defending the same as well! It’s a win-win!

I’ve had the opportunity to work with and for Fields and Kelly on multiple levels over the last 10 years. They have a unique ability to get the most out of players both on and off the field. The experiential side they create for their events is well above the standard. Looking forward to having my kids in their program in the future!
