Summer Camp Introduction Emails

On the Friday before each camp week begins, an email containing the information and topics for the sessions over the week will be sent across to all parents of players included in this program.

Our Why!

At 1UP, our passion is developing players technically, tactically, physically and mentally, without forgetting that youth players need to ENJOY the process. 1UP Soccer is committed to ensuring all sessions are delivered with high quality to improve each individual player. With a heavy focus on improving each player's technical ability, every 'skill' trained will always be paired with decision making. This will give each player more understanding on how to implement each technique into their games.

There will be a high focus & effort demanded from each player, all while an encouraging and FUN environment is being created. If you want to improve your confidence, you have come to the right place!

Training Menu

All sessions are carefully designed by head coach & founder Graham Fisher along side 1UP’s Director of Player Development and current pro Niko Myroniuk which consists of all important player habits needed to excel and improve in today's modern game within GAME REALISTIC training activities. Niko takes his real life experience at the highest levels of youth soccer and pro experience combined with Graham’s 7 years of youth & professional experience in Germany, Ireland, Spain & England, as well as his 3 National Coaching licenses to bring the players and coaching staff a second to none training environment.

Player Groupings

Our sessions are carefully designed for 8-10 players maximum to ensure more repetitions and personalized attention from the coaching staff. This is the 1UP way, and we find this allows us to give high quality one on one feedback to players which supports their development. Players groupings will be thought out and made to promote collaboration and competition in a positive, growth-focused environment.

Parents, Coaches & Spectators Viewing

Parents, friends and families are always welcomed with us! We encourage and welcome all parents and families to watch as much of the training as they please. Please refrain from giving the players instructions during the session.
