Welcome To FGCU & Blankenship's Elite Soccer Camps

Blankenship’s 2024 Elite Soccer Camps provide an incredible opportunity for players from all levels to learn, develop, compete and succeed. The Blankenship Elite Soccer Camps will be among the best in the nation this summer as Jim Blankenship has carefully selected his staff so that every level and type of player is properly identified and developed. For the Jr. Elite and Day Camps, players will get the unique opportunity to be coached directly by current members of the 8x Atlantic Sun Conference Champion FGCU Eagles as well as Florida ODP Staff members. For the Elite College Showcase Camp each coach on staff is a representative from a top NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA College Coaches in Florida and around the country. Each group will have a current FGCU player working directly with them as well. The coaches on staff exemplify the passion and enthusiasm that are necessary for development and success, and their primary concern is to grow each player at camp through this proven three-pillar approach:

1. Motivate players to develop the highest level of comfort on the ball.
2. Establish an environment of competition that challenges each player.
3. Encourage application of skill in game-like situations.

Jim Blankenship’s approach with campers is the same as with his college players and the success of this approach is displayed in the 9 A-Sun Conference Titles and 6 trips to the NCAA Tournament that FGCU has garnered over the last 10 seasons.
