His staff consists of his assistant coaches, other college head and assistant coaches, current and former players from the University of Michigan, and other proven high level coaches. The especially low camper to coach ratio, last year was 10 to 1, makes for a great learning environment that is well supervised at all times. Coach Burns' assistant camp director is Chris Grassie. Coach Grassie handles all the daily on-field organization of the camp.

Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers will be trained daily during the morning functional training session. GK sessions include play on the line, reaction saves, angle play, crosses, boxing, breakaway techniques and tactics, backpasses, directing the defense, footwork and speed training, reading the game and more. These skills will be trained in the mornings and integrated into a team structure during the 11 v 11 games. Our GK trainers will watch your 11v11 games and analyze how you perform these skills under the pressures of the live match. This program is very demanding and fills up quickly.
