Mini Bulls
Ages: 4-5 years // Length: 3 hours
A New York Red Bulls Mini Bulls Camp is for players ages 4 to 5 years. Research shows that a player who is just starting needs to experience the fun aspect of the game. Therefore, the Mini Bulls Camp focuses on teaching soccer fundamentals in a fun-based play environment. The curriculum focuses on two main areas: (1) Physical Literacy and (2) Ball Awareness.

Half Day & Full Day
Ages: 6-14 years // Length: 3-3.5 hours & Ages: 7-14 years // Length: 6-6.5 hours
Half-day and full-day skills camps focus on the introduction and mastery of ball skills. This is achieved through maximum ball contact, expert coaching, skill development & inspiration. Through our camp structure and connection to the professional game, an environment is created that keeps players invested in their development, long after the camp concludes. Each day focuses on a different topic, with structured activities, conditioned games & match play included to keep the players motivated and focused. Players are assigned to a group based on age and ability levels. Learn more from our Summer Camp Explainer Series here.
Extended Day
Ages: 9-16 years // Length: 12 hours
This program follows the same curriculum as the Residential player camp but is for players who prefer to travel to the site each day and return home at night (8.30 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. each day, 2.30 p.m. to 8.30 p.m. on Sunday). Lunch and dinner are provided onsite. The extended day camp option is not available for RDS residential camps.
Designed for travel and select-level players, the curriculum covers both advanced technical and tactical skills. The goal of the curriculum is to put players in a learning environment where they are challenged technically, tactically, physically, and mentally. Player camps are open-registration and are not subject to tryouts.

Team Camp (Half, Full or Extended Day)
U8 to U18
Team camps are for groups of 10 or more players that sign up as a full team. The New York Red Bulls understands that every team has its own unique training demands. Therefore, a flexible curriculum approach is offered so that selected topics can be extensively covered and revisited based on the team’s ability level and rate of progress. Four core building blocks make up the team camp training week. Central to each area is maximum ball contact, conditioning with the ball, and team building.
RDS Day Camps
Ages: 8-16 years // Length: 3 hours
Available during the summer and school breaks in the spring and fall, RDS day camps offer advanced soccer players the opportunity to join the Red Bulls pre-academy feeder system without first attending a tryout.
Featuring the same great coaches and advanced individual curriculum as the fall, winter, and spring clinic program, RDS camps offer the same competitive environment for advanced soccer players, but on a more flexible and accessible basis.
Residential (Overnight) Skills Camps
Ages: 9-16 years
Our residential soccer camps are offered at select New York and New Jersey residential locations. The residential camps allow individual players and teams to participate in a unique, immersive youth soccer training experience. The five-day on-campus curriculum provides training focusing on Red Bull's building blocks of player development.
Residential Team Camps
Ages: 9-16 years
Designed for teams that want to enjoy a week of training with their teammates, Residential Team Camps allow teams to take part in a unique, immersive youth soccer training experience. The five-day on-campus custom-designed curriculum provides training focusing on the Red Bulls' building blocks of player development. Our coaching staff will consult with you or your team coach to create a tailored curriculum so the players receive a customized training plan specific to the team's needs. The team camp experience also helps foster great bonding and cultural experiences!
RDS Residential Camps
Ages: 9-16 years
RDS Residential (or sleep-away) Camps offer players a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the RDS soccer experience both at night and during the day.
Recognized RDS coaches staff these advanced soccer camps and feature highly demanding on and off-field experiences. In addition to a high level of play, campers are held accountable to the standards of personal behavior that help to mold a successful soccer player and potential academy candidate.
As our most popular programs, many Residential Camp options are fully booked as early as the beginning of Spring. New applicants must attend a tryout to earn their space on camp, and existing and returning RDS participants are pre-approved for their camp of choice.
