Future stars teaching future stars
While camps can help youngsters go on to bigger and better things in soccer, some of our instructors have also made a name for themselves in the game.

Nine Reading United alumni were selected in the 2013 MLS draft. They were Deshorn Brown (Colorado Rapids), Ryan Finley (Columbus Crew), Ian Christianson (New York Red Bulls), Stephen Okai (Philadelphia Union), Greg Cochrane (LA Galaxy), Will Bates (Seattle Sounders), Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union), Jose Gomes (Toronto FC), Leo Fernandez (Philadelphia Union). All were involved with United summer camp.

Past instructors have also included C.J. Sapong and Luke Mulholland. Sapong went on to earn 2011 Rookie of the Year honors in the MLS while playing for Sporting KC. Mulholland earned the same distinction playing for the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USL PRO.

*Goalkeeping and The Art of Scoring Camp are cross-over camps. Players will receive instruction that's specialized for the camp they choose. However, the two camps will at times combine so goal keepers can benefit from the challenge of partaking in drills with goal-scoring minded players and vice versa.

^ This camp is for girls only and the featured instructor is Rachel Hoffman.

All campers will receive a free ADIDAS Reading United t-shirt.
