Camp at a Glance
Pingry Futures Soccer Camp is an excellent opportunity for your middle school-aged male athletes to develop their skills and see what it takes to play for one of the country’s most successful high school programs.
Please note – this is a Monday through Friday day camp with an overnight option Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Overnight Add-on
Futures adds a residential overnight component so that rising 7th and 8th-grade boys who are interested can fully immerse themselves in the type of “preseason camp” experience that our program relies on each year to help shape culture, develop personality, and offer further insight into what it means to play for the Big Blue. Players that add the overnight component will sleep in dorms on Pingry’s new Pottersville campus, just 15 miles from Basking Ridge, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Meals, starting with dinner on Monday and ending with Breakfast on Thursday, will be provided during the stay. Residential Directors will be on-site at Pottersville at all times with the boys, and daily transportation between Pottersville and Basking Ridge will be provided.
Players who register for overnight can bring all of their luggage, including twin bed sheets, pillows, and towels to Basking Ridge on Monday morning, or parents will have the opportunity to bring it separately and meet their child to unpack into their dorm room, on Monday evening. While on the Pottersville campus, additional programming which may include access to our ropes course and climbing walls, time in our arcade, movies in our theater, bonfires, discussions about college recruiting, and indoor soccer matches will be offered.

How do athletes effectively overcome adversity and pressure? What are the most effective ways to prepare for competition and build confidence? How do athletes manage negativity and stinkin’ thinkin’? What are the core principles of high performance mental training? The Pingry Futures Mental Performance Training camp will address these questions and many more. Led by Dr. Brandyn Fisher (Director, Pingry’s Center for Performance and Leadership), each session connects sport psychology theory with the application of mental skills, which translates directly to competitive sport arenas. Athletes will learn how to manage performance stress, build confidence, and seek out challenges, while walking away with tangible training methods that can be applied on and off the field.
