2026 Defender Youth Summer Position Specific Training

The University of Denver Men’s Soccer program is excited to offer a Defender Specific Training Camp for boys and girls ages U8–U13. This unique experience is designed to provide young players with focused, age-appropriate instruction tailored to their position on the field. This training group will only have 12 players!

Led by the University of Denver coaching staff and current players, each session will emphasize the technical and tactical details required to succeed in specific roles within the game. Players will work in a high-energy, positive environment that encourages learning, creativity, and confidence on the ball.

The camp curriculum is built to help players develop a deeper understanding of their position while improving core skills such as decision-making, movement off the ball, and game awareness. Training sessions will include position-specific drills, small-sided games, and realistic game scenarios to reinforce learning in a fun and competitive setting.

This is a great opportunity for young players to learn from collegiate coaches and student-athletes, experience a college training environment, and take the next step in their development.
