What Sets OakFA Apart?

Every camper trains in four key areas that work together to build the complete athlete.

More than that—our athletes rediscover why they love the game. They find joy in the grind, pride in their growth, and a deep, renewed passion for the sport they love.

Train the mind. Lead with purpose.

Before you win games, you have to win your inner game. At OakFA, we challenge players to build confidence, emotional strength, and self-leadership.

Outcome: Athletes leave with better focus, stronger voice, and a deeper understanding of who they are.

Includes:

  • Leadership workshops
  • Mental strength circles
  • Goal-setting & reflection
  • Locker room culture building

Train smart. Move strong. Recover better.

We teach players how to push their bodies—and protect them. Athletes learn to train like pros, fuel like pros, and care for their health beyond the field.

Outcome: More speed. More strength. More confidence in your body.

Includes:

  • Strength, speed, & agility work
  • Injury prevention & recovery

Play with vision. Compete with strategy.

From footwork to formations, we break the game down so athletes can build it back up. Every player trains in technique and tactics, learning how to read the game and make big plays under pressure.

Includes:

  • Position-specific coaching
  • Tactical drills & game breakdowns
  • Small-sided decision games
  • Real-time coaching & feedback

Think bigger. Learn deeper. Respect the game.

The pitch is only part of the story. Our athletes explore how soccer connects cultures, drives change, and shapes leaders across the globe. They study the game, write about it, and reflect on how it reflects the world.

Outcome: A more informed, respectful, and globally aware player.

Includes:

  • Film study: Brazil, Spain, Ghana, Japan & more
