Camp Goal:

'I am excited to enhance FTSA programming for the summer of 2023. Our Pre Season camp remains a wonderful training experience for all. The goal is that this camp by being smaller, and a little more consistent in its range of player will provide an even better environment to focused development. I am excited to build on the resounding success of prior Elite Camps. My goal this year will be to ensure that we invest in the highest level of coaches possible for this special week of training and tailor the curriculum to the needs of the age group and player.'
