UNO Soccer Development camp 2026
Early Bird - Cost per Session $800
Sign-up March - April
The UNO Department of Recreation & Intramural Sports is thrilled to announce a brand-new direction for Summer 2026!
We are officially transitioning our traditional Summer Camp into a Youth Soccer Development Camp for ages 5–12.
This redesigned camp will focus on building the core skills every young player needs to learn, grow, and truly enjoy the game of soccer. From fundamentals and footwork to teamwork and confidence, our goal is to create an engaging environment where New Orleans youth can develop both as players and as people.
More details, including registration information, camp schedule, and coaching staff, will be released soon. We can't wait to bring this new experience to our community!
