"Signed my son up for the after-school camp just so he could get some exercise. Coaches are great. My son is loving it and has really improved his soccer skills".

"The World Cup soccer classes in Belmont are excellent! My 5 year old enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Lots of play time and learning exercises and he loved Coach Nate! (they have professional coaches - not parents coaches so all the kids had a great experience!)".

"Coach Jillian was Awesome....she was engaged, kept the kids on a schedule, and had a fun, positive attitude. Our daughter had a great time and wishes I would have signed her up for another week! ".

"Our son loves playing soccer and improving his skills. He attended 3 weeks of the "Classic Skills Camp", full day, over the summer. He had a great time and was excited to go every morning. The coaches were very experienced and taught a range of basic and advanced skills. The camp was also a good mix of drills and scrimmages. He also liked that each day had an event or theme such as "crazy hair day". We look forward to attending again next year."

"Just wanted to drop a note that my son really enjoys the camp currently at Minnie & Lovie Ward Recreational Center and has been learning great new soccer skills. We especially appreciate that coach Fernand and the rest of crew have worked to make the camp safe during in this Covid-19 pandemic, while keeping it fun and exciting. My son attended several of the World Cup Soccer camps before and we look forward to coming back next summer!"

"My son (12 yrs) has participated in several soccer camps but particularly enjoys World Cup Soccer Camps. He is currently doing a 3-week, full-day stint in Campbell and really enjoying the experience. With the shelter-in-place due to Covid-19, he has been kind of lost without soccer! The skills training, positive coaching, interactive play and fun-and-games approach are really helping my son get back into the swing of things. The coaching and format has him honing in on footwork, regaining his stamina, assessing where he is thriving or needs to improve, and challenging himself to achieve goals. Despite the limited practice options (no scrimmages or close player-on-player action allowed), my son reports still having a lot of fun! World Cup Soccer has forged ahead to *very swiftly* devise a creative, dynamic, and vigorous experience that makes the fee worthwhile."

"We happened upon World Cup Soccer Camps by accident. Our plans changed, we stayed in town and friends were doing this camp in San Francisco. I hesitated and only signed them up for one day at first. My 7 year old was excited to work on her soccer skills but my 5 year old...is basically Ferdinand the Bull in a boys body. He had no interest in school soccer and preferred to sit on the sidelines and watch. So I really had no idea how this was going to go....After the first day, my daughter was having a great time and my son was totally into it. He had 3-4 other kids in his age group (which is amazing considering at some soccer camps, there are hundreds of kids running around like crazy and not even doing any soccer...anyway) and that evening, he demanded to go back. He's also on the smaller side (and was the youngest, I believe, at this camp) and while it doesn't seem to bother him, I am sure sometimes he is intimidated by so many bigger kids. I was in shock given I had to bribe him to attend in the first place! Each day got better and better. By the last day, he won the MVP t-shirt and was over the moon. And now...he loves soccer. He is totally into it at school and tells the story of how he won the MVP shirt at camp ALL THE TIME. I am really beyond happy and we are already planning next summer plans around being able to attend one of the SF camps. :) "

"We loved the Personal Training Sessions with Coach Manuel. He is really good with the kids and really knows how to teach them. He also has very good knowledge on different coaching techniques. We wanted to continue for more but couldn't get more time since School started for the girls. We will definitely be coming back for more coaching with Coach Manuel"

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to coach over the past two summers. As a former longtime attendee of World Cup Soccer Camp, it has been an amazing experience to be on the other end of that, coaching the kids and making sure they have just as much fun as I did when I went."


(WCSC Coach and former camper)

" My son who is 7 years old attended the World Cup Soccer Camp from Aug. 13th - Aug 17th 2018 at the Campbell Community Center. The coaches were very professional and energetic. They challenged my son in all aspects of his game. Each day he came back very excited about what he had learned. Some of the moves that he worked on and fine tuned at World Cup Soccer Camps included the cross-over and scissors. He was so excited at how well he had improved he couldn't stop demonstrating the moves and practicing them on me. In addition World Cup Soccer has a goalie skills camp in the mornings, which my son also partook in and gained increased agility and responsiveness to ball movement that allowed him to block goals he was not able to before. On the last day of World Cup Soccer Camp I asked him to compare it to the Earthquakes soccer camp and he said he enjoyed World Cup Soccer Camp more than the Earthquakes camp. In addition World Cup Soccer has extended care which Earthquakes camp does not. I'm definitely signing my son up for World Cup Soccer Camps next summer."

"My son 9 years did world cup soccer camps this July 16-20. We really appreciated the two coaches, Ben and Ryan, who really provided quality instruction and friendly attitudes. My son came back with increased skills and knowledge, as well as absolutely exhausted from a fun day of activity outdoor. He was really happy about the camp, telling me soccer was as much fun as baseball. This is the first time he said that about soccer. I hope we can sign him up for more lessons/teams . He got MVP one day, he was so delighted. The program is super responsive to emails, and even provided us with a one day refund, because we could not attend the last day of camp - this is pretty extraordinary when many programs would tell you "hard cheddar". Damian and Shelby over email are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely sign up for camps or clinics again

"Coach Manuel did a lot of good drills with my son, showing him some new moves and skills, and gave him tips. He also showed his willingness to meet my son again when it is convenient for us. At the end, he talked to my son (13) about the mentality of going into a game and going for your dreams, and my son said he felt really inspired to challenge himself even more and got some ideas from him on how to do that. We are definitely happy to have done the private lesson, and to have had Manuel and his inspirational words light a new fire for son's passion for the sport.

"Our children have been attending World Cup Soccer Camps & Clinics for many years and have always enjoyed learning new soccer skills there. It has been a wonderful experience for all of our children. I highly recommend World Cup!"

"My daughter is enjoying the camp. Looks forward to it everyday, she wakes up in the morning and gets ready all by herself. Eager to learn and have fun. Today she got the soccer ball and started juggling the ball showing me what she learned. She is definitely excited with positive energy when we pick her up. Thanks to you and your staff, keep up the great work."

"10 years ago World Cup Soccer Camp provided me with the experience to improve my skills on the field while having fun in a competitive environment. I am very excited to be coaching at the same camp this summer (2016) that fueled my passion for the sport and inspired me to become the playtrong>"THANK YOU!!!!!!!
My daughter Nikkie attended this camp after being out sick of the 8/15 camp. She was stressed about going as she didn't know anyone in the session. She had been to other camps where she knew several kids but never wanted to return. I'd like to thank you for providing her a great experience. She was there from 9 to 3pm and got some great exercise and had fun. I look forward to next year and perhaps enrolling my 6 yr old as well. Thank you for being so good with kids!! this was my daughter's best experience with a summer camp."

"Both of my sons Merix (age 7) and Alexander (age 5), enjoyed your camp in San Francisco the first two weeks of this summer. Because it was our first time with you, the final weeks of the summer are being spent at the soccer camp they attended last year. I asked my oldest to compare them, and he said although he enjoyed them both and had positive experiences, he said he felt that at world cup he received more personal attention, there was a wider variation of drills, and that the coaching was a little stronger. As a result, we will try to send our children to your camps exclusively going forward."

"My son just attended GK2 and Advanced camp at Ohlone College. The camps were fantastic! Manny and Adam were simply wonderful...honest and friendly right from the start. I appreciated Manny taking time to talk to me. My son (Chad) really enjoyed Adam's motivation, encouragement, and honesty. I was worried that 1:15 hours of GK training each day may not be enough...but it certainly was! Adam started ON TIME everyday, and worked the kids hard. I appreciate the ratio of coach to kid. My son was not lost in a crowd. He got plenty of personal attention. I have to say, the cost of this camp was a bit more than others, but I think it was worth it because of the personal attention. I appreciate the critiques my son got today, the last day of camp. They were extremely accurate, which lets me know how well Adam paid attention to Chad. Chad has read the critiques and agrees with them 100%. Thank you so much, I will definitely recommend this camp to others."

"This was my favorite summer camp --- I loved it. [The] instructors were great and I really developed my skills and got better. I'd give the Camp a 5 out of 5. I can't wait to go next summer!"

"Thanks so much. We look forward to having Charlie participate in future camps with you. Seriously, of all the different activities in which Charlie participated this summer, he counts his week with you one of the top 2 (the other one was his week with me in Maui)!"


(parent)

"My son Gino was part of your 5/6 year old summer camp group. After a week at camp, he played on our local team and we were amazed-he was a little star and scored countless goals-I mean WE stopped counting !!! You are THE best, and going to your camp was the best thing we did for him last year. Thanks so much."


(parent)

"Year after year, the kids enjoy the camps so much, we are now planning our vacation around it. The coaches are always very friendly and knowledgeable ! "


(parent)

"On the last day, we get to play the coaches and it is great for kids who love soccer !"

"The camps are interesting and fun because we learn new games !"

"As I get ready to send my last child to college to study and play soccer, I look back on the many things which helped my boys develop as people and as soccer players. Certainly one of the fondest memories is of Ruedi and the many sessions of World Cup Soccer Camps and Clinics attended by my children over the years. It not only enriched their soccer experience and helped their competitive edge but was FUN. As a parent it was important to me that they had excellent role models at camp as well. Both my children have gone on to coach, perhaps in part because of their positive experiences at camp, and it makes them smile when their young players show up in the World Cup Soccer Camp t-shirts. Thanks for the great times Ruedi and welcome to the next generation of World Cup Soccer Campers..."
