We are glad to announce the return of our Boston College Lady Eagles Soccer Clinics, starting with our Winter Session. The camp will be held from December 27 – December 30, from 12pm – 5pm at Boston College Alumni Stadium.

Our program is designed to develop the players in a fun environment. Players, aged 6 – 14 years, are grouped by age and ability and the program is catered to both the beginner and elite club level player.
