Sporting JAX, the United Soccer League (USL) franchise group bringing men’s and women’s professional soccer to Northeast Florida, has teamed up with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Jacksonville University to host a soccer camp for boys and girls ages 4 to 13 ahead of the Colts vs. Jaguars regular season game Sunday, Oct. 6, at EverBank Stadium.
The sixth annual youth soccer camp, presented by Sporting JAX, will be directed by the club’s Mauricio Ruiz and run by JU soccer players and coaching staff from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the Flex Field at Daily’s Place. The cost of the camp starts at $59 and includes a ticket to the Colts vs. Jaguars game, which kicks off at 1 p.m. Family and friends of clinic participants can also purchase game tickets and watch the youth soccer camp from the Flex Field sidelines. All attendees entering the stadium must have a game ticket.
“It’s a privilege to reunite with former colleagues and collaborate with the Jaguars and JU, whose essential support makes this camp possible,” said Ruiz, technical director for Sporting Jax. “Together, we’re committed to nurturing youth soccer talent across Northeast Florida and fostering opportunities for the next generation of players and fans."
