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.

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!
