The Wolfpack Soccer SR Elite Residential Academy at NC State University is a dynamic academy designed to develop beyond the basics. We will facilitate the players learning experience by providing a low coach-to-player ratio. The soccer activities and games will enhance the player’s technical and tactical development. Players will be exposed to many challenging game situations that allow for each player to have maximum ball contact and decision making opportunities to ensure optimal development. Individuals and teams are encouraged to take part in this great experience. Goalkeepers will receive rigorous training from the NC State University goalkeeping staff. Our staff consists of highly qualified coaches with experience in demonstrating and teaching a vast array of age-appropriate techniques and tactics fundamental to the game of soccer. The Residential Academy will take place on the campus of NC State University and utilize the same fields as the Wolfpack soccer team. Commuter rates are available for local players.

MEDICAL:
Certified athletic trainers will be present at our fields throughout the academy to deal with injuries and other health issues. Trainers may treat minor injuries and illnesses, but will refer the camper to a doctor/emergency room should they feel it necessary. Trainers will also be staying in the dorms and are available to campers at all times. All campers must have proof of personal medical insurance to participate.

REFUND POLICY:
A non-refundable deposit is required with each application. If a player is unable to attend a session due to injury, illness, or extenuating circumstances, there is a maximum refund associated with each session. For residential players, the maximum refund is $150, for commuters the maximum refund is $100. Deposits may be applied in full to your 2013 academy tuition if the player cannot attend a session.

The Wolfpack Soccer Academy hires staff, secures housing and meals, rents field space and incurs additional charges associated with the number of campers planning to attend. These charges must be paid regardless of whether or not one individual player attends. For this reason a maximum refund amount has been established.
