Each year since it’s opening, the Soccer School has offered top-notch soccer camps. Additionally, the Soccer School has hosted college classes, college tournament games, adult co-ed league games and other activities. Today the camps are offered only at the Cosumnes River College campus and are operated by the Cosumnes River College Soccer Program.
