80/20 Sports

My son, age 11, has attended ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ day camp for the last three years and attended the one week residential camp this year as well. Since he’s the one at camp, I asked my son what I should write in this review. Here it is in the words of an 11 year old soccer lover, «They treat us like real soccer players, not just kids who are at a soccer camp. The coaches focus on skills development for real, it’s not just a bunch of kids running around with a soccer ball so the parents feel good about sending their kids to camp. It’s a REAL soccer camp.»
As a parent, I want to help my child develop life skills like overcoming adversity, goal setting and building character. It’s important to me that any program he’s involved in will focus not only on how to play the sport — but on how playing the game can teach those skills. And, of course, I want his time playing to be something he looks forward to because he makes great friends and laughs a lot. ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ has facilitated all of this and I think it’s some of the best money we spend every summer.

My son Joseph, who turns 11 this week, attended the ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ day camps last summer and this summer and also attended the ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ one week residential camp this summer. He absolutely loves Coach Erik and all the other ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ coaches. I could not be more happy with coaches that are providing great soccer instruction as well as building him up as a person, a teammate, and a leader. He has made great friends through ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ and I have seen real advancement in his soccer skills and player development. He is already asking when the overnight camp is next year!

Both our boys, ages 8 and 11, attended ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ Sports Day Camp this summer and also last summer. The coaches/​staff are knowledgeable and do a great job managing the kids. They make every day challenging, yet fun and cater to different ages and skill level. The last day of camp with all the giveaways and awards is a perfect way to close out each week.
As a parent, I loved the fact lunch was provided every day. Not many camps do this and it makes life easy and worth every penny.
Apparently their favorite part of the day was every afternoon when they would play beach soccer and then jump into Lake Michigan to cool off.
I recommend ⁸⁰⁄₂₀ Sports Camp to kids of all ages and skill level. My boys can’t wait until next year.
