SPORT-SPECIFIC CLINICS

(Soccer, Basketball, Hockey, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Volleyball, Baseball, Softball, Cheer, Dance, Flag Football)

All NSSA sport-specific clinics focus on age-appropriate skill development, emphasizing the core fundamentals skills using our three-tiered development model (Steps 1-3). Participants will engage in various skill drills and modified games throughout the 4-days. Each clinic has its specific curriculum tailored for each age group led by a highly qualified coach with high school, college, or club coaching experience in that sport. All of the programs stress the importance of having fun while improving.

COMBO CLINICS (MULTI-SPORT ATHLETE)

NSSA often runs different sports clinics in the same week. When this happens, athletes can select to participate in both clinics, bouncing back and forth between the other sports. They can change after snack, and after lunch, freely. 

 

ADVANCED PROGRAM: GRADES 6-9: HALF DAY

The advanced clinics are specialized and focus on advanced training concepts and tactical play. The transition period from grades 6 to 9 is challenging as players need to become more physically, technically, and mentally prepared to compete at the next level. These half-day programs are sport-specific with advanced skill development, high-intensity training models, advanced tactical concepts, and competitive gameplay. A half-day is all that is needed. The program runs from 915-11:45. Participants can stay until 1215 and have lunch after camp if desired, ordering pizza.
