Camp Philosophy

Health and fitness are not just physical, but emotional and spiritual as well. Our camp is a Christian soccer camp and students each day will have the opportunity to learn from examples and stories from the Bible that can be applied to every day life. It is our desire that children are equipped to do their best in their soccer and to understand what it means to be a winner both on and off the field.

“Concepts of fairness and teamwork in the midst of a competitive environment will be the lasting skills that your children will take with them from our camp.” -Coach Garrick

Our Amazing Coaching Staff
The coaches at Ambassadors Soccer Camps include highly experienced players and coaches (including pro/semi-pro players) with national and international background. All our coaches are committed to excellence in our soccer camp programs and are also committed Christians who serve as positive role models to your children both on and off the field.

Our team includes coaches from different countries from around the world! Our team is rounded out by our awesome assistant coaches from the local Seattle & Eastside soccer community. As a bonus, you’ll learn from our special guest coaches from the Seattle Sounders.

Here's what Michelle Akers, Olympic Gold Medallist of the US Women's National team says about our camp...

"Sports are a microcosm of real life. In both areas, we experience and learn how the importance of goal setting, discipline, teamwork, perseverance, risk-taking, and losing and winning help us develop into healthy, vibrant individuals... This is why I believe combining a quality soccer camp with the teaching of sound Biblical principles is a great opportunity to discover and apply God's word to our every day lives through the context of athletics. "
