Recapping our Winter Game Changers Camp!
1UP fam, our Winter 2026 Game Changer Camp was a hit!
From Monday, December 29th to Friday, January 2nd, 1UP trained over 200 players!
1UP’s Director of Football Operations Keegan Biggs commented on the camp and what it meant to him to see so many players improving at the camp.
“This year’s camp was amazing!” Biggs said.
“A goal we strived for this year was having our players learning from a variety of coaches, and I felt we absolutely smashed that. It’s rewarding as our director of football operations to see so many players enjoying themselves, improving, and providing amazing feedback to us.”
“We’re already looking forward to the next one!”
Here’s some of the best pics from the 1UP Game Changers Camp from our very own Director of Media Rooney Biggs and ShotsbySB!
