"We have been working with 1st touch academy for over 8 years. Coach Grimes and his staff tailor the camp to our needs and tactics for the upcoming season. This is a great opportunity for our program to prepare for our season. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable about the game, and they teach it in such an applicable and easy to understand way for all age levels. The players enjoy working with them. As coaches we learn and grow as well - as the coaches are always willing to explain and talk about any aspect of the game. It has been a great working with them for all these years."

"We've had the pleasure to work with Coach Grimes & The 1st Touch Soccer Academy over the last few seasons.  Each & every year we've found the experience to be incredibly valuable.  Coach Grimes & his staff run a fantastic camp, which he always tailors to the needs of our program & players.  1st Touch Soccer Academy provides an environment where our players are pushed & challenged with new ideas & concepts.  Coach Grimes is a consummate teacher of the game, and he does a great job of incorporating life lessons that will serve our players well beyond the soccer pitch.  1st Touch Soccer Camp has been a great springboard into our pre-season the last few years & were very fortunate to be able to make this a key part of our off-season offerings."

"1st Touch Soccer Academy is well worth the Investment!   Coach Grimes and his assistants provide the highest level of instruction on the specific areas of the game that our team wants to focus on each year based on the players we have returning. 1TSA came to our school and shared their knowledge of the game with the boys in a direct way that the high school players understand and respond to.  Our speed of play and soccer IQ were noticeably better after the week of instruction. I highly recommend coach Grimes’ camp to anyone looking to get a jump on the competition over the summer!"
