Each summer, several Marywood University coaches offer sport camps which are run on Marywood's campus. In addition, some outside companies or coaches offer camps which are held on Marywood's beautiful campus. Most of the camps are co-ed and age offerings usually range from 8-18 years old.
In addition, Marywood coaches may offer skill clinics or other team events throughout the year as fundraising or community service projects. Please check this page often for updates on future camps.
For the summer of 2009, Marywood University is hosting the following camps, clinics and/or shootouts. Please read below and contact the appropriate coach for more detailed information on each of these offerings:

He has been named Conference Coach of the Year on two occasions (2005, 2008). Coach Driscoll led the Marywood's men's team to their first-ever post-season berth in the conference tournament this past fall and was named the Missouri Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 1999. Both have extensive experience working at camps and working with youth programs over the course of their careers.

The Pocono Cup Camp offers a 4 v 4 tournament. Using our exclusive scheduling system we are able to play an afternoon of soccer where players are matched up with different teammates and playing different opponents each game. Through our own unique scoring system, we are able to come up with one individual winner out of over one hundred competitors!
The "Upper Ninety" Goalkeeper Camp runs in conjunction with the Pocono Cup Camp and all goalkeepers are invited to participate in this aspect of the camp.
