Europa Soccer Camps

My Son went to Europa Soccer Camp in 2021 at the Lawrenceville School. He got si much out of it that we organized his entire team to attend at the Lawrence High School. What separated Europa Soccer Camp from other Camps were the facilities but especially the Coaches. They had as advertised European Coaches. The Coaches they had a camp last year were from Ajax, Barcelona and 2 Clubs in England. Everyone associated with my Son's team raved about their positive experience.

My Daughter has gone to Europa Soccer Camp for the past 3 years excluding 2020 (Covid-19). She loved the New York location at Pawling as the facilities were excellent and as with the New Jersey locations the coaches were outstanding. At both Pawling and the NJ location she had coaches brought in from Europe. From what I saw and as my Daughter described the European coaches were better than the Club Coaches she is trained by locally. The primary difference according to her is that the coaches at Europa Soccer Camp have the ability to demonstrate all soccer techniques. Plus, all training was done in a game like format. My Daughter said they were constantly playing small games. I watched the evening activities and games and I was absolutely thrilled with the level of coaching she got and how they conducted all the training and games. My Daughter's experiences at Europa Soccer Camp have been only excellent in both Pawling, New York and Lawrence, NJ.

Really good training for my kids, excellent facilities and really motivating coaches! My kids really enjoyed the entire activities! Thanks a lot! Would definitely come back and recommend this!

Camp is run by Dennis Lukens. He has been scamming people with different camp names for years (Premier soccer camps, Soccer Camps by the Ocean). His name never appears on the site but he is the camp director on site. He may introduce himself as "Bob". Robert Whalen, not sure if another alias or an accomplice, communicates with parents. They promised us amenities that never materialized (pool, air conditioning) and a registered nurse on campus who did not exist. The coaches he has advertised on the website are not the coaches on the campus and neither is the program. The coaches who do coach at camp are also victims of Dennis, as there are a number of them who have never gotten paid for their work. He recruits them with false promises as well. Dennis, aka Bob, ran a camp on Trinity Pawling campus and my son and his 4 teammates were supposed to stay for two weeks. When the weekend came around, Dennis took off and left a coach alone with kids and only $100 to feed them trough the weekend, with no means of transportation to go get food off campus and never came back--- the catering service he said would be there on the weekend were not contracted for the weekend. Campus terminated his contract after 2 weeks for non-payment. Coaches were not told where emergency equipment was located ( epi-pens, defibrillators) and did not even have access to a first aid kit.

You can send your kids to this place to learn soccer without any second thoughts, as they are truly amazing. Keep up the good work guys!
