What is Team Camp?

The Coastal Team Camp will have all 18 Coastal Rush ECNL and ECNL RL teams on site together to get the season kicked off for the 26/27 season. The center of the week is Tuesday, when every team rotates through three stations in one evening: skill testing, field training, and media and culture.

Every session takes place at Ashton Brosnaham Park in Pensacola. Open to U13 through U19 ECNL and ECNL RL players. Attendance is expected for every rostered player, and there is no separate sign up.

The Team Camp package is $50 per player. That simply covers what it takes to run a full multi-team camp for all 18 teams. Collected through your AthleteOne account.

The four pillars

Tap any pillar to open it.

Pillar 01 Team building and training Full team sessions, goalkeeper training, team meetings, and media day.

Three nights of full team sessions at Ashton Brosnaham with every Coastal Rush group on the same site. That does not happen again until playoffs.

Field sessions

Half a field per team on Tuesday, then full team training Wednesday and Thursday. Coaches set standards, install shape, and finalize roles before league play.

Goalkeeper training

Dedicated GK work on Field 5B Tuesday and Field 5A Thursday, separate from outfield sessions, before keepers rejoin their teams.

Team meetings

Expectations, communication, and the season calendar, covered once and covered properly with the coaching staff.

Media day

Team and individual photos in kit at the stadium backdrop, plus headshot makeups. Used for rosters, recruiting profiles, and club channels all season.

Kit and jersey pressing

Every team's first stop Tuesday is to meet the team manager to drop 26/27 game jerseys for heat pressing and kit inventory. Jerseys come back at the end of your last training night.

Team goals

Players meet their new teammates, set team goals together, and start 26/27 with a clear target in mind.

Pillar 02 CAP Talks Players only recruiting session for U16 to U19, with a follow up email to parents.

Our College Advisory Program staff run a recruiting Q and A in the Multipurpose Room on Tuesday night, built into the media and culture rotation. It is a working session, not a sales pitch. Players leave knowing what happens next and what they should be doing this season.

Who: U16 through U19, boys and girls. Younger age groups have a team meeting with their manager in the same block instead.

Parents: this session is for players only. We want them asking their own questions and owning their own process. You will receive a full email after camp covering everything discussed, plus your next steps by age group.

Pillar 03 SkillMasters testing Laser-timed speed, agility, and ball control, with a full report for every player.

Most player feedback is an opinion. Skill testing is a number. At Team Camp, every Coastal Rush player runs through the SkillMasters testing battery: laser timing gates for speed and agility, and AI-verified video for ball control. No stopwatches, no guesswork, no coach bias.

Results are scored against a database of more than 150,000 athletes, so your player is not just compared to their team. They are compared to their age group nationally.

Testing runs Tuesday, August 4 only, on Fields 9 and 10, inside your team's rotation.

Speed

Straight-line acceleration and top-end speed through laser gates. Produces a Universal Speed Rating that can be tracked test over test.

Agility

Change of direction, deceleration, and reaction under timed conditions. This is the number that separates fast players from quick players.

Ball control

Technical execution under time pressure, verified by video analysis rather than a coach counting reps on the sideline.

Questions

Team Camp FAQ

Is skill testing a tryout or an evaluation for team placement?
No. Testing is a development tool. Results give your player and coach an objective baseline to build a training plan from, and they give older players a verified profile to share with college coaches. Team placement decisions are made through the normal club process.
My player is injured or cannot attend the testing day. What happens?
Testing runs Tuesday only, but we will have makeup opportunities later in the fall. Let your team manager know as early as possible so we can plan your rotation.
How is the data measured?
Speed and agility are measured with laser timing gates rather than handheld stopwatches, which removes human reaction error. Ball control tests are recorded and verified through video analysis. Every result is stored against your player's profile so you can see progress at the next testing window.
Can parents sit in on the CAP Talk?
No. CAP Talks are for players only, U16 through U19, on Tuesday night in the Multipurpose Room. We want players asking their own questions. Every U16 to U19 family gets a detailed CAP email after camp covering what was discussed and what to do next.
What does the $50 package cover?
Skill testing and your player's full report, media day photography, and the fields, staff and equipment to run camp for all 18 teams. There is no separate testing fee or photo package. Collected through your AthleteOne account.
Do I need to register my player?
No. Team Camp is part of the season for every rostered player. Show up Tuesday at 5:15 PM for check in.
