FAIRFAX, Va. - Throughout the month of July, George Mason University men's soccer head coach Greg Andrulis and his dedicated staff will teach the game of soccer to up-and-coming players at his Victory Soccer Academy Summer Soccer Camps. Those interested in attending can register online at www.victorysocceracademy.com.

"The philosophy of our Academy has always been to teach this beautiful game in a fun, entertaining and enduring way," Andrulis said. "Our facilities, staff and the amenities of the camp such as our extremely unique awards ceremony are what sets our program apart from others. We offer four separate programs that will provide a level of instruction for players of all skill levels."

The Elite Residential Academy is for players who have an interest in playing at the next level. The goal of the Elite Residential Academy is to provide participants a real college soccer experience. We train players the same way we train our team. We will expose our players to the mental and physical skills required to gain an advantage at the next level. Players are put through an intense training environment to prepare them for college soccer - heart monitor training, speed and agility workouts, soccer specific fitness training, regeneration and more.

Our convenient weekend schedule allows you to enjoy an incredible weekend and offers an Academy experience that incorporates fitness, training and full-sided games. In addition, evening discussions are presented on what it takes to succeed in college soccer and beyond.

The Elite Training Academy is for the serious soccer player. Regardless of your current ability level, this full day camp uses modern methodologies in technique training, tactical understanding, and exercise science and sport psychology to explore all facets of the game.

The Premier Academy addresses the needs of players from the ages of six to 13 years old. Players will spend significant time on developing fundamental and technical skills, small-sided games and the principles of team play during the week.

Our Future Stars Academy is specifically designed to meet the needs of our youngest players. We do this with fun and innovative games, interaction exercises and age appropriate activities.
