Camps & Showcase Clinics

Camps take two forms, youth empowerment and skill building. The youth empowerment camps build leadership and self-esteem through soccer. More basic skills-building camps are offered to the general community; they focus on developing soccer and team skills and primarily promote MNTP programs and generate revenue.

The basic skills-building camps provide opportunities to youth under contracts with our partnership, the St. Paul and Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Departments.  The main objective of this program is to strengthen organizations and partners with advanced soccer training for their participants.  This program also serves as a means to increase our access to soccer fields and revenues through program fees.

Current Partners in this program are:

* Homecroft Recreation Center, St. Paul
* Hayden Heights Recreation Center, St. Paul
* Farmstead Recreation Center, Minneapolis
 

Each year, we have been serving an estimate of 251 boys and girls.

Showcase Clinics

Showcase Clinics are one-day events that excite neighborhood kids and families about youth development through soccer.  We conduct these showcase clinic in partnership with community and schools.
