Dear West Florida Flames Families,

As many families begin planning for the summer, we wanted to share some guidance to help you choose the right type of program. There are many camp options available, but not all provide the type of learning environment and quality of competition our players need to truly compete, learn, and have fun. Please see attached flyer below.

For players interested in an overnight summer experience, the one camp we strongly recommend is The Florida Soccer School’s Elite Residential Academy. If your family is considering a summer camp, this is the option we believe best fits the serious WFF competitive player.

We’ve had many WFF players attend in past summers, and they consistently return with outstanding feedback — both on and off the field. The competition level is very high, with players coming from top leagues (MLS NEXT, GA, FAL, ECNL, and more).

Every player learns differently, and they do a great job using multiple teaching methods, including game-based learning, visual tools, and guided discovery, to make sure every player leaves the week smarter, more confident, and inspired.

2026 Elite Residential Academy Dates
• Tampa (Eckerd College): June 21–25 - Boys & Girls Ages 9-16
• Vero Beach (Jackie Robinson Training Complex): July 12–16 - Boys and Girls Ages 9-16

If you would like to attend with friends or teammates, the staff does an excellent job keeping players together, organizing roommates, and creating a great overall experience. Group discounts and fundraising options are also available.
