Due to Principia High School's recent announcement to renovate its dormitories, all 2024 Youth Elite Camps will be commuter only. We are excited for the new dorms, making future Billiken Youth Elite Camps even better. However, we understand that not having an overnight option for this upcoming summer will be unfortunate. With that said, we are committed to ensure that each camper will have a memorable and enjoyable Billiken Soccer experience just like previous years as our camp format will stay exactly the same.
Our Billiken Youth Elite Camps are designed to give boys of the ages 6-14 exposure to SLU Soccer coaches and players, while developing in a challenging and fun camp environment. Our camp consists of both training sessions and full-sided matches. Our goal is for each player to have a memorable, fun camp experience with friends and teammates, while playing against some of the best talent in St. Louis and the Midwest. As stated above, after recent conversations with Principia High School, we have learned their dormitories will not be available this summer.
