About
Gino's Soccer Academy offers full day camps, half day camps, half day afternoon only sessions, and an extended half day camp where players take part in directional possession, attacking principles, and finishing activities. Camp days include work on attacking and defending principles, how to play different positions, skill building games, small group play, small-sided games, and a full-sided game. Morning sessions focus on individual player development and small group play, and afternoons include more small-sided games and end with a full-sided game, with players getting thousands of touches on the ball throughout the week.

This is the 30th year of Gino's Soccer Academy, and over 10,000 players have participated in the program. The program is for advanced as well as beginning soccer players, including both individuals and teams, and former participants return to work on the coaching staff. The mission of the academy states that with younger players who are just starting out in soccer, the emphasis is building joy in playing the game, along with skills and confidence with the ball, and with older or more experienced players the focus is on training players to be better attacking players by building skills, control, and decision-making with the application of defensive pressure in exercises. The mission also states that they want this to be a fun experience where the player is able to build confidence in themselves and show off their creativity, and lists core values of building player confidence, inspiring through achievement, challenging players to develop new skills, educating about the game of soccer, and creating lasting memories.
