COVID-19/Corona Virus Update: May 12th, 2020
We hope all are safe and healthy.
SEAHAWK ACADEMY CAMP (residential option July 16-19): We have just been informed that UNC Wilmington has cancelled all camps this summer due to COVID-19/Corona Virus. All registrants will be contacted and refunded in full.
Our Seahawk Academy Camp is designed for the player that wants to work hard, improve, and have fun! A variety of highly experienced and qualified collegiate, high school, and youth club coaches are on staff to ensure that each player is challenged to become a better player. Our very own UNCW Seahawks soccer players are also on staff to be mentors, demonstrate techniques, become friends with, and to teach all participants.
Rising 8th graders and younger are grouped on a combination of age and skill level. Rising 9th-12th graders are typically grouped by graduation year for recruiting purposes. However, high school aged players may float between age groups at the discretion of the UNCW coaching staff.
Age and skill appropriate curriculums ensure that the needs of each specific group are met. All curriculums are designed by UNCW head coach, Chris Neal, who has years of experience creating coaching curriculums for both US Soccer and the United Soccer Coaches’ coaching schools.
