All are graduates of adidas ESP!

Will you be next on the list? adidas ESP demonstrates one aspect of adidas’ commitment to player development and one of the many reasons why adidas is the world’s leading soccer brand. Since being founded in 1997, adidas ESP has served over 1,000 of the finest youth players from across the United States and become the most recognized development camp in the country. adidas ESP is where the top high school age players come together to improve their soccer skills, test their competitive ability, learn about managing off the field challenges in preparation for college and other growth opportunities, and get scouted by college and professional team coaches.

As the partial list of graduates shown above illustrates, adidas ESP has helped advance the skills of some of today’s top young stars. adidas knows what it takes for players to be at their best. That is why everything at adidas ESP is first class: the adidas gear used by the players, the facilities, the curriculum, the coaches, and the players themselves.

In 2006, adidas ESP was held July 5-10 at The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Connecticut.

The 2007 program will be held at California State University – Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) from July 4- 9.

adidas ESP is run in conjunction with US Youth Soccer as a sanctioned Olympic Development Program event.

No applications are solicited or accepted for adidas ESP. The participants are selected based on recommendations from a national scouting network. adidas ESP is by invitation only. Participants will be notified on a rolling basis throughout the first half of 2007 by written invitation in the mail or via email, if they have been selected for adidas ESP 2007.
