Due to the ongoing challenges from the COVID-19 virus, and concern for the health and safety of our participants and staff, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all 2020 Steamboat Soccer Academy Camps.

We know that this news will be disappointing and we share in those sentiments. As a small locally owned business, this decision is one that has been very difficult for us to make, and in the end, was out of our control. We know our soccer family is strong and we appreciate your support of our summer soccer camps and hope that you can join us when we return in 2021.
