Quote on the camp:
'I am excited to host a camp at a facility as phenomenal as MKA. My goal for this camp is to provide players in the North Jersey area a week of challenging, yet fun, training, in a friendly and motivational environment. I will pool together coaches from different clubs and programs, to provide diverse and unique training and insight for the players. The camp will be club neutral and player orientated.'
‘I had the opportunity to be coached under Rob Leather for four years and, in that short time, I learned more about the game than I did in the previous twelve years. From the little details including body position when receiving a ball to the way in which he cemented team tactics in my head, I was always learning something that made a significant impact on my performance.' Danny Hampton (Princeton University, Mens Soccer)
