About
SF Dragons Soccer Camp

San Francisco Dragons Soccer Camp is a premier youth soccer camp for all kids K-8th grade that offers two specialized programs to support the development of players. It was created to foster the technical skills of our school teams and to extend it to our community. We believe that having fun and instilling values are just as important as developing campers ability on the field. We teach our campers to love the game as much as we do while educating them on the important principles for any successful young athlete. Additionally, we will host individual instructions, goalie clinics, foot tennis, arts, and soccer-themed enrichment activities.

We use a Mindful approach during our practices as studies show how they can benefit sports performance. Through mindfulness tools, we will help our campers to develop awareness, focus, be present, and put their attention where it needs to be. By learning to be mindful, our campers will have a higher chance to integrate our core values on and off the field. It will not only help with self-growth, but it will boost their confidence and make them great players.

Integrity - Confidence - Respect - Perseverance - Compassion -  Sportsmanship - Humility - Inclusion -  Teamwork - Responsibility - Leadership

These are some of the performance and moral character traits that are critical to any child’s development. Our coaches, with years of promoting positive behavior throughout their international and professional soccer experience, can bring out the best in your kids by creating a supportive and empowering environment that allows everyone to grow.

Thank you Amy for your kind words. It was so nice to get to know you daughter and her fun spirit. We were so happy to see how supportive and friendly she was to everyone. She was always ready to play and had a great time participating on all soccer, and team building activities.
The Dragons Soccer Camp is top notch! We have attended other soccer camps and this is hands down the best. Willian and Val hire great coaches and run a solid program. They keep the program small so that the campers get a lot of attention and time to build skills. Willian's passion for soccer shines through in this program as he fosters the love of soccer for the campers. My son is looking forward to attending camp again this summer for 2 sessions!
