to believe the trouble maker saying the cost is $6000 would validate every yahoo that talks garbage on TS.

Will there be a girls tryout?

Where did you come up with the $6000 price. That sounds a bit much for a camp.

Let me know when can you go to Europe for 1 week with airfare and hotel meals for two for less money plus the camp price

West Ham United North American Academy will hold an ID Camp from October 24-26 in Boca Raton at 10333 Diego Drive South. Boys ages 11-16 are invited to register to attend the high-level sessions overseen by professional coaches trained in the UK and will consist of the same coaching methods and drills used in instructing the youth teams of the West Ham United Academy in London, arguably one of the greatest soccer academies in the world. In recent years, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole and Glen Johnson are all graduates of the West Ham United Academy.

Players excelling at this camp will be invited to the 2014 West Ham United North American Academy National Residential Camp in the summer, staffed by the Academy coaches and directed by the Academy Director. A select group of players at the National Camp will then be invited to London to participate in West Ham United’s Elite Player Experience.

Registration must be completed online at www.westhamacademyinternational.com.

Shouldn't the London camp be called the "Financially Well-Off Player Experience"? How many "elite" players who can't afford the trip will be able to attend? Just call it what it is, a soccer themed vacation. Nothing wrong with that, but to dress it up and sell it to gullible families with more money than soccer sense is, well, U.S. youth soccer at its best (worst?).

It really is a shame that west ham puts this together, ask's for $125.00 per player, and only has one coach present to see the level of the 35 kids present.

They at least should have 2 coaches to try and get a fair evaluation of the players. Oh well maybe it is all about the $$$$$$

there was 2 people helping him out that were employed by the boca raton international school. I wonder if they will be biased with the kids in the group that attend the prep school ????

Thats ok in the end if a gem is indeed amongst the kids and is not identified by the one coach we can all laugh at them !!!


Good luck to all....

If you are waiting foactivelyub in europe to pay your way there, i would opportunityst your kid get use to the idea of playing college ball in the US. Unless your kid is a phenom and you have been actively promoting him or her, these camps are an opportunity to the front door. If your kid is good enough they will be noticed.
