We’re Officially One of the Top 10 Nike Soccer Camps in the USA 🎉
Based on your feedback, our camp was named one of the Top 10 Nike Soccer Camps in the USA.
We’re incredibly grateful and excited to share that SoCal Youth Sports has been ranked as one of the Top 10 Nike Soccer Camps in the United States.
Thank you to the players whose attitudes and effort truly set the tone. Their commitment and hard work to challenge themselves, learning, and support one another were incredible to see.
Through our NanoSoccer approach, players were constantly asked to think, make decisions, and solve problems in a fast-paced, technical environment, and they embraced that challenge with maturity and focus.
A sincere thank you to our coaches, whose preparation, care, and quality make everything possible. The way they create challenging, supportive environments and take responsibility for every child’s experience is what defines our camps. And thank you to the parents who trusted us with what matters most.
As we head into our fifth year, we’re incredibly excited to go again, especially with soccer entering a truly special moment as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
With the World Cup coming to Los Angeles, there’s a growing energy around soccer that kids can feel, and we can’t wait to be part of that journey with our players and families. Our upcoming camp schedule is now live, and we’re excited to welcome familiar faces and new families back on the field.
Why Parents Trust Our Camps with Their Kids
Trust is built in the small moments parents care about most. Feeling comfortable at drop-off. Knowing their child is supported, included, and treated with respect. Seeing them come home tired, smiling, and proud of what they did that day.
Parents consistently shared that our camps felt safe, well-organized, and positive, with coaches who paid attention to each child, not just the most confident or advanced players. Kids were encouraged to try, make mistakes, and learn without pressure.
Being named one of the Top 10 Nike Soccer Camps in the USA matters to us because it reflects that trust. Parents felt good about their choice and that’s something we never take lightly.

What parents say
The Moments Kids Remember from Camp
Every word in this image comes directly from parent feedback. When families were asked what their children talked about most after camp, the same themes kept coming up :
World Cup games, fun, great coaches, confidence, and excitement.
This isn’t marketing language or a curated list. It’s a snapshot of what kids actually remembered and what parents noticed when they picked them up each day. Seeing these words together tells the story better than any headline:
kids were engaged, supported, and genuinely enjoying the experience.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...
“I’m incredibly proud to see SoCal Youth Sports recognized at a national level. This moment is really about the quality of the work and, most importantly, the coaches who show up every single camp and put their hearts into delivering a fun, safe, unique, and exciting experience for kids.
Our coaches are the heartbeat of everything we do. Seeing families recognize them for going the extra mile for their kids is a truly proud moment for us.
When I started SoCal Youth Sports, the goal was never to be just another youth soccer program. We wanted to look, feel, and play differently. Our NanoSoccer model was built to create more involvement, more joy, and a bigger impact on every child.
We live by a simple phrase at camp: Great people make great players. A message designed to go beyond the outcomes on a soccer field. It is a belief that guides how we support the kids in our care, how we coach, how we lead, and how we show up for kids every day.”

Why Parents Rated SoCal Youth Sports Among the Top Nike Soccer Camps
Parents consistently told us the same things mattered most to them and their child:
- Had fun
- Felt safe
- Came home excited to play again the next day
Many parents shared that their children felt included and supported, not rushed or overlooked. They noticed coaches who were present, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each player’s experience.
Kids weren’t just participating, they were engaged, challenged, and proud of what they accomplished during the week.
Being recognized at a national level is meaningful to us because it reflects those everyday moments families care about most: smiles at pickup, stories on the car ride home, and kids asking when they can come back.
What Sets Our Nike Soccer Camps Apart
Coaches are present and intentional, creating an environment where kids feel supported and encouraged to try new things. Players are challenged without pressure, and effort is celebrated just as much as success. The goal is for every child to feel included, confident, and excited to step back on the field the next day.
Our camps use Nano games, short, fast-paced game formats designed to keep players engaged and learning through play. For parents, this usually shows up as more energy, more smiles, and kids who come home talking about what they did instead of saying they were bored.
That combination of active play, thoughtful coaching, and a positive atmosphere is what families consistently point to as the reason their kids love coming back.
