College ID/HS Camp

ELITE TRAINING FOR THE SERIOUS SOCCER PLAYER

The Elite 300 College ID / High School Soccer Camp held at Swarthmore College is for serious high school-aged boys soccer players who want to learn from and get exposure to a range of DI & DIII college coaches from top-ranked schools like Swarthmore, CalTech, and UPenn among others…

Why join us at Elite 300 this summer (Click HERE for “11 Reasons to Attend”)?

  • Elite 300 separates itself from others by having a smaller camp – between 100-150 campers attend each session. This allows for a more personal touch and a better chance to be seen. Our college coaches get to know all campers as our camp sessions are reasonably-sized and you get to show your stuff over multiple days.
  • You’ll play with, train and compete against top-level soccer players from all over the country and around the world, providing each Elite 300 player with the opportunity to improve their game while showcasing their skills and abilities.  Camp curriculum includes small group training sessions, small-sided game activities, and daily 11-v-11 matches.
  • Two 4-day, 3-night sessions offered each summer for HS boys (entering 9th grade through 12th/gap year) at Swarthmore College just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Overnight or commuter options are available. Click HERE for a sample CAMP SCHEDULE.
  • Come with a group of 4+ players & SAVE. Special Team/Group Savings (4+ players attending from a given high school or club qualifies you for savings – email ewagner1@swarthmore.edu or call 610.690.6882 for details).
  • All of our camp teams/training groups will be coached by college coaches who will be assisted by current college players. This coaching structure is valuable for players as they are seen and taught by college coaches and also have the opportunity to interact with current college players, getting valuable perspectives from both the college coaches and players.
  • Elite 300’s Camp Directors, Eric Wagner and Keith Tabatznik - bring decades of experience in player development, college coaching, and have an impressive college coach network.
    • Eric Wagner is the long-time successful Head Coach at Swarthmore College. He also has coached at top D1 schools such as Duke and Notre Dame.
    • Keith Tabatznik coached 22 years at Georgetown (their winningest coach ever); has coached the Bermuda World Cup team and the US National “B” Team and scouts for US Soccer.  He is a member of several Soccer Halls of Fame and has been a TV analyst for FoxSoccer.
  • Our camp coaching staff includes NCAA Division I to Division III college coaches, as well as Talent ID Scouts for US Soccer. Their experience helps generate valuable insights for our attending players as they seek to move to the next level.
  •  Elite 300 Soccer Academy offers specialized goalkeeper training through its partnership with Next Goalkeeper Academy.  Next Founder/Director Taylor Thames is the Head Coach at LaSalle University in Philadelphia and brings his experience training goalkeepers to Elite 300. Goalkeepers will receive specialized keeper training and get plenty of game action in camp matches.
  • We have an impressive track record of campers going on to play college soccer. Many campers have also gone on to the pros (MLS Defender Ike Opara and US Youth International Ian Hoffmann with Houston Dynamo are just a couple examples).
  • Elite 300 offers a wide-ranging training and special event curriculum, including:
    • College Night; Coaches Panel, which will help you navigate college recruiting process effectively; and our exclusive Sports Psychology Session presented by Dr. Ciaran Dalton, which introduces mental approach concepts that help develop a player’s confidence and gives them a competitive edge.
  • Elite 300 is held at Swarthmore College, one of the country’s top national liberal arts colleges. Swarthmore has an incredibly beautiful campus and boasts five soccer fields – including the lighted varsity Clothier Field Stadium, pristine natural grass training fields, and an indoor field house available in case of poor weather. Campers will enjoy “all you can eat” meals in Swarthmore brand new Dining and Community Commons dining hall and stay in Swarthmore’s student dorms.
  • Swarthmore College is conveniently located just outside of Philadelphia, PA. Easily accessible by car, train (there is a stop right on campus), and air (Philadelphia Airport is just 15 minutes away and Elite 300 provides airport pick-up and drop-off options for players).
  • Our Sports Medicine team is there for players 24/7.  Certified Athletic Trainers are at all sessions and also stay in the dorms with the campers in the event of any issues overnight.
  • You will work hard, play with and against serious players, get outstanding coaching, stay on a college campus and get a sense of life on campus, and have a ton of fun while attending Elite 300.
