Profile
Dutch Soccer School offers exclusive summer soccer camps designed for serious and ambitious soccer players across six U.S. states, with multiple Chicago-area locations including Tinley Park and Naperville. The program brings professional Dutch coaching methodology to American youth players through coaches affiliated with professional soccer organizations and licensed by the KNVB (Royal Dutch Soccer Federation).
Camps are available for boys and girls ages 8-13 in regular sessions, plus a special high school prep camp for ages 14-17. Participants must be on a travel or select team and prepared to train at a high standard. Day camps run Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm with a lunch break from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm (campers bring their own lunch). Overnight camps run Sunday through Wednesday with check-in at 1:30 pm Sunday and checkout at 4:00 pm Wednesday.
The Dutch training curriculum teaches players what to do, how to do it, and when to do it at the technical speed required in modern soccer. Camp features include specialized goalkeeper training in small groups, a full Dutch Soccer School outfit (jersey, shorts, socks) for each participant, beautiful turf or well-maintained grass fields, plenty of breaks with ice-cold water and shade, and an outstanding coach-to-player ratio not exceeding 1:13.
The top 5% of players receive invitations to travel to the Netherlands to play against professional youth teams. Additional features include 4v4 competitions and camp finals where players compete for prizes, optional detailed evaluation reports, and protection plans available at registration.
