Aldrich Academy is an advanced soccer camp being offered by Crossroads Soccer that works to further develop players’ technical skills, positional understanding, and game tactical awareness. Led by former division 1 soccer player Lauren Aldrich, sessions will reflect a top-level collegiate training – there are no empty reps, everything a player does is with a purpose and once a skill is mastered it is practiced at game-speed. This camp is being offered by Crossroads Soccer.
Each day will have three sessions, a technical session, positional session and game-play.
Session 1: Technical Training
- First-touch, passing, dribbling, trapping, striking the ball and body positioning.
Main Goal: To improve players’ ability to maintain possession of the ball.
Session 2: Positional Training
Positions: forwards, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers
Group 1 Forwards
-
- Dynamic runs, Crossing (end line vs. early cross) and different types of finishing.
Group 2 Midfielders
-
- Supporting runs (checking into space), checking shoulders, producing a quality final ball and combination play.
Group 3 Defenders
-
- Fundamentals of defending (1v1, 2v1), back-line shape, building out of the back, and taking balls out of the air.
Group 4 Goalkeepers

- Catching, diving, distribution of the ball and reaction saves.
Session 3: Game-Play
-
- Players will implement what they learned in earlier sessions in a competitive game-setting.
Players can expect the atmosphere at Aldrich Academy to be energetic, competitive, and fun. Coach Lauren and the rest of the carefully hand-picked coaching staff will be active participants in sessions by demonstrating skills, teaching concepts and providing individual feedback. If you’re a player who wants to improve your soccer skills, get the most out of training and take your game to the next level, Aldrich Advanced Academy is for you.
