The exceptional coaching staff brings different styles and perspectives of the game to camp. Our coaches are selected for their ability to teach, demonstrate and relate to campers. Outstanding professional coaches from the United States and overseas, collegiate coaches and outstanding college players have been selected to train players and teams. All-American players provide the demonstrations of technique and tactics. Part of the reason for the popularity of our camp is the staff. On and off the field, quality supervision is offered for all campers. The top high school players play with and against the Creighton players and camp staff in All-Star games that are scheduled each day. The teaching staff is tremendous.
The Senior Staff consisting of NCAA , NAIA, and club coaches will be joined and assisted by current Creighton soccer players and players from other Division I colleges.
