About Loudoun Soccer Travel Camps

The Loudoun Soccer Camps & Clinics System is built to provide youth players an opportunity to gain professional supplemental training from an introductory stage to the elite level of the game. Our programs follow our Core Values of Fun, Integrity, Fairness, Teamwork and Stewardship, using a curriculum that taps into players’ love and passion for the game.

REGISTER WITH CONFIDENCE 

At Loudoun Soccer, we want to ensure that everyone who frequents our event feel comfortable and safe. We also want families to know that we care and for that reason, we have introduced the “Register with Confidence” initiative. This initiative gives families peace of mind knowing the uncertainty that lies ahead. 

Loudoun Soccer is hopeful that with new safety protocols in place, we can return to the soccer fields in the not-too-distant future. If camps are canceled families will be issued a full refund.
