WABA camps were created for one main purpose . . . to unleash a Athlete's Inner Champion.
How is this achieved?
We begin with coach mentors that are champions in their own right. Most WABA camp coaches have played soccer or coached in the English Premier League or Major League Soccer or NCAA D1 College. Our camp coaches have instructed, practiced or played with European & MLS legends like Lionel Messi, Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, Landon Donovan & Cucho Hernandez. Carefully selected, these coaches football & life beliefs closely align with WABA's 360º Development principles & methodologies. WABA camps are extremely individualized having player to coach ratios as low as 4:1.
Our session plans come straight from top Category 1 European Academies with innovative curriculums that elevate a player's superpowers & supplement missing development factors. WABA's goal is to teach, inspire & empower every player to reach their greatest potential.

WABA’s 5-Day European Street Soccer Camp brings the raw energy of old-world football culture to Chicagoland with fast, chaotic, creative & high-rep Street Soccer.
This camp is built around attacking games, aerial battles, shooting wars, possession challenges, underload situations & one special day of Brazilian Beach Soccer on sand. Players will live inside the kind of training environment that builds Legends: tight spaces, fast surfaces, quick decisions, fearless 1v1s, 2v2 battles, 1v5 survival moments, unpredictable rebounds, constant finishing chances & total creative freedom.
At WABA, players are encouraged to take players on, try advanced skills like backheel & elastico megs, master the rainbow flick, attack under extreme pressure, exscape chaos & find their own Flowing Ginga.
European Street Soccer sessions deliver 24 to 72 short, intense games that create massive touches, more shots, longer on-ball time, quicker decisions, better aerial control, explosive movement, stronger confidence & off-the-hook creativity. Players train through Mixed Games Street Soccer, Total Attack Street Soccer, All Aerial Street Soccer & Brazilian Beach Soccer, where sand becomes the ultimate constraint for balance, strength, rhythm, body control & untethered creativity.
European Street Soccer produces Legends because it gives players what traditional games often cannot: speed of play, freedom to experiment, chaos & constantly changing variability. With over 100 WABA Street Soccer games built around purposeful opposed situational repetition, players are forced to adapt, compete, improvise & create in real time.

Skyrocket your athlete’s soccer ability by transforming the athletic engine underneath it, become a beast in 3-7 weeks.
WABA Xtreme Athleticism™ Transformation Camp is a 2-hour daily summer performance camp built to help players become faster, more explosive, more reactive, graceful & more powerful in the moments that decide games.
WABA is where soccer athleticism gets upgraded. Athletes will train through WABA’s signature performance systems including Jump Start™, Sonic Speed™, Ballistic Ballance™, Flow Athleticism™ & Cognitive Overlays™, with Assess 12™ used to track progress throughout the camp. Each weekly session plan is designed to create real gains in nervous system control, reaction time, acceleration, first-step quickness, explosive power, deceleration, change of direction, scanning, periferal vision, depth perception, balance, agility, coordination, strength & stamina.
This is not basic SAQ or conditioning. This is soccer-specific 360 mind & body transformation. Campers will attack high-intensity explosiveness intervals, reaction-time challenges, acceleration mechanics, deceleration control, multidirectional movement, rhythm, agility, coordination, ball work & soccer-specific movement patterns. Players will learn to move faster, react quicker, explode harder, recover stronger & compete with more confidence.
Athletes will also receive short WABA mini-talks & handouts on the habits that support elite development, including hydration, nutrition, mental toughness, load balance, periodization & PRP: Prepare, Recover, Prevent-Injury. The goal is to help players understand not only how to train harder but how to train smarter, recover better & protect their bodies for long-term growth.
The camp runs Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM for 7 weeks this summer. Athletes can sign up for individual days, complete weeks or the full 6-week transformation program.
