smia camps
Welcome to the Soccer Made In America (SMIA) Training Camp center. Since 1984, SMIA has installed passion and excitement in generations of soccer players as they developed their skills and tactical knowledge from beginner to advanced playing levels.
We inspire young soccer players to fall in love with the game from the very first kick. Our primary camp goal is to provide players with quality coaching/teaching methodology, fun and joy, and a competitive learning environment. SMIA's systematical technical teaching progression is well regarded across the United States and throughout the Chicago Land area as a supreme training methodology in player development. We are proud to share the success of SMIA training camps, featured in Fox Sports, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, and various media outlets.
