The Chris Gbandi Soccer Academy Youth Camp is a coed day camp for campers ages 5-14, hosted in the state-of-the-art collegiate soccer stadium in Storrs, CT. We provide elite instruction and top notch educational training in a camper focused environment.  

Our goal at our Chris Gbandi Soccer Academy Youth Camp is to bring out the very best potential in every player we coach. We focus on building confidence and improving camper's skills through technical training, small sided matches and team and individual-driven competition. 

At the end of the week at Chris Gbandi Soccer Academy Youth Camp, our campers leave with an elevated soccer IQ, an expanded skill set, new friends, and a true love of the beautiful game!  

The Youth Camp sessions will include:
  • Training Sessions Led By Top Coaches including Head Coach Chris Gbandi
  • Training At State-Of-The Art Facilities 
  • Small Sided Matches
  • Engaging Training Drills
  • Chris Gbandi Soccer Academy T-Shirt 
  • Educational And Fun

Our camp is open to any and all entrants, and those entrants can only be limited by number, gender, age and/or grade level.

*please note, we will group players as best as we can based on age and skill level but groups are not guaranteed. We evaluate players on a daily basis during the camp week and move players if necessary based on availability.
