2013 Louisville Women's Soccer Winter Elite Academy Brochure 
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville women's soccer program has announced the details of its 2013 Winter Elite Academy. Led by head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes, the camp is scheduled for Feb. 2, 2013 inside the Trager Center on the University of Louisville campus.
About the Winter Academy
The Winter Academy is a one day camp designed to give high school aged soccer players a day long experience in the life of a high level Division I soccer player at the University of Louisville. Players will take part in the same types of training sessions that Cardinal soccer players see day in and day out during their college career, working in a hands on environment directly with the Louisville Soccer coaching staff. They will take part in a strength and conditioning workout run by the Louisville Sports Performance Staff for Louisville Soccer, as well as learning the importance of injury prevention and nutrition to performance. Players will meet with Athletics Compliance Staff to learn the rules and regulations surrounding the recruiting process and the admissions process to ensure they understand the steps they need to take to be eligible to play soccer at the Division I level. In one day they will experience nearly every facet of being a Division I soccer player. The camp will be held in the brand new Trager Center, a full field indoor Field Turf facility adjacent to Papa John's Cardinal Football Stadium.
Space in the camp is limited to 50 players so that each player will receive individual attention from the University of Louisville coaching staff. There will be no specialized goalkeeper training offered due to the size of the camp. Goalkeepers can take part for most of the day as field players and play in goal when we play in games.
