Four4 Academy is a small-group, skills-first soccer camp for kids ages 8–12. We evaluate every camper in week one, then coach week two around what each kid specifically needs — not a fixed script every camper runs through.
The essentials at a glance
Why Four4
Every session follows a proven 60-minute structure — warm-up, technical drill, skill game, small-sided play, and a cool-down recap — so kids leave every day having actually played, not just practiced.
24 campers, 3 coaches — a 1:8 ratio means every camper gets coached, not just supervised.
Week 1 is an evaluation. Week 2 is built around what each camper actually needs — not the same script for every player.
Dedicated days for dribbling, passing, shooting, and speed & agility — plus fun games and a mini match day to apply it all.
The Four4 Difference
Running the same twelve drills for every kid isn't coaching — it's crowd control. Four4 splits the two weeks into an evaluation phase and a personalized phase instead, so week two actually fits the camper in front of us.
Every camper works through the same fundamentals — dribbling, passing, first touch, shooting — while coaches track where each kid is strong and where they're still developing.
Sessions shift toward what each camper specifically needs — more 1v1 reps for a kid ready to attack defenders, extra first-touch work for a kid who needs it — inside the same group, not a separate program.
Every Session
Consistent structure, session after session, so kids know what to expect and coaches can focus on coaching.
