The coaching staff of the BIG KICK camps knows what it takes to become a better player and knows what is required to teach it. Our staff members have coached players and teams at the state, regional, college and national levels. The staff, under the direction of Everton's Staff Coach - Tony "Tosh" Farrell, has designed a curriculum to challenge the serious, dedicated player of any ability.

The BIG KICK Camp is for soccer players who want to improve and are serious about it. It's a camp for players who are willing to work hard to improve their games.
