MAP WELCOMES ALL LOCAL PLAYERS FROM ALL SURROUNDING TOWNS

MAP Summer Youth Soccer Academy focuses on individual and team development. Each day, campers go through a series of skill stations designed to help push them to improve as an individual player. In addition, campers are placed on teams in order to teach the fundamentals of working within a team and understanding what it means to be a member of a team. Each day includes individual training, small and large sided games, team building competitions and soccer related games.

Our staff is comprised of some of the finest coaches in the area. All of our coaches are passionate about two things: the game of soccer and working with kids. The staff works with players on an individual basis with the goal of developing soccer skills, confidence and a greater understanding of the game and team dynamics.

Mass Athlete Performance is excited to continue its partnership with Needham Soccer Club. Mass Athlete Performance is a local organization focusing on helping young athletes. We help improve soccer players performance through camps, clinics, individual training sessions. We also help create healthier athletes through nutritional counseling and lectures, injury risk assessments and prevention, strength and conditioning sessions.

We welcome players from all local communities to join us!
