Open-enrollment summer soccer camp founded in 1997 by Bradley University head coach Jim DeRose, serving boys and girls roughly ages 5-18 in Peoria and now run jointly with Peoria City Soccer. Sessions are grouped by age: a two-hour introductory Kicking Kids camp for ages 5-7, a half-day junior camp running 9:00am-12:30pm for ages 7-14, and a full day camp running 9:00am-4:00pm for grades 3-8 at Bradley University's Meinen Field that mixes individual training, small-sided games and full-field play. Camps run week-long in June and July at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex and on the Bradley campus.
