TRUE PRO SCHEDULING
True Development WINTER Camps
About the TPD camps
We at TPD know each player has the capability to reach their highest potential, but they need proper guidance; we have many, many players TRUE-ly develop by fostering a player’s love for the beautiful game while, at the same time, teaching them the skills they need to be successful at their respective level. This methodology has helped countless players of all levels flourish on and off the field. We strive to empower players so they can take control of their development outside of our sessions/in their spare time. In doing so, players will not only improve their technical skills, but they will develop a growth mindset (AKA – a belief and confidence to overcome obstacles and learn new skills/create new habits. )

BASIC INFO

WHO: Elite/Motivated players born in birth years 2012 through elite 2015/2016
Time: 9:00AM to 4:00 PM

Early Drop-off: 8:45 AM to 9:00AM
Pick-Up: 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM
At this camp, we focus on developing players holistically, equipping them with everything they need to become complete athletes. While we dedicate a significant portion of our time to shooting and striking the ball, we also emphasize essential skills that many players at this age—and even at higher levels—often overlook.
Becoming a complete player requires a well-rounded approach, and we’ve spent years studying what it takes. Now, we’re bringing all of that knowledge into our Game-Changer Camps, ensuring players receive the most comprehensive training possible. We’ve had great success with these camps in the past and are excited to run another, constantly refining and improving the experience each year.
As always, we will not let any time go to waste; we will even use the snack/rest/lunch times to work on the human/mental development. Topics we love to address includes professional habits that lead to success, professional guest speakers, the mental side of taking shots/risks, what it means to be a good teammate, tools such as visualization/meditation, and so much more.Â
In addition, we will do our best to get each player from the camp an analysis of their power-shot and/or weak-foot/speed-shooting technique by Coach Kyle (who is one of the most reknown trainers anywhere when it comes to analyzing how a player strikes the ball.) We always try to send these analysis sessions to parents later so they have something to work on.Â
We will provide options for players to purchase a lunch (we will pick up) or they are welcome to bring their own. We will also purchase some healthy snacks for the campers, but, once again, they are welcome to bring their own as well. You can rest assured they will be well taken care-of and well-fed.Â
As these camps are in our state-of-the-art facility with so many amazing tools but less space than outdoor, we will limit the number of players that can attend due to the number of coaches we have with minnimum being 8 and maximum being 16 so don’t hesitate to register. We usually try to have two experienced professional True coaches in addition to some of our top proteges to keep the ratio at or around 1 True ambassador for every 4-5 players.Â

SHOOTING MASTERCLASS (YOUNGER)
BASIC INFO
DATE: NOVEMBER 28TH
WHO: Elite/Motivated players born in birth years 2013 and younger
Time: 9:00AM to 4:00 PM
ADDRESS:
THE TRUE DEVELOPMENT CENTER
742 Pincecrest Drive, Prospect Heights
Early Drop-off: 8:45 AM to 9:00AM
Pick-Up: 4:00 PM to 4:30 PM
This camp will center on our specialty—refining the art of shooting and mastering the precision of long passes. Our goal is to maximize the number of meticulously examined shots and strikes while maintaining a safe environment that minimizes the risk of overexertion.
In light of this commitment, we have introduced a midweek respite on Wednesday, allowing players to recover after the initial two days and return invigorated to finish strong—pun intended. This adjustment, a departure from our previous camps, is born from experience and designed with the players’ well-being in mind. Though it may present additional logistical challenges, we are confident that this approach will yield better outcomes for our athletes.
The idea here to provide a more intimate experience where our coaches can truly connect with the players and learn how to best motivate/train them. These connections are vital to TRUE player development. When we are not training, we will spend time talking about the mental side of the game, how to set goals/how and how to be better human.
As always, we will not let any time go to waste; we will even use the snack/rest/lunch times to work on the human/mental development. Topics we love to address includes professional habits that lead to success, professional guest speakers, the mental side of taking shots/risks, what it means to be a good teammate, tools such as visualization/meditation, and so much more.Â

The idea here to provide a more intimate experience where our coaches can truly connect with the players and learn how to best motivate/train them. As many of you know, Coach David knows my system better than anyone. He’s been around since the start of the facility and is our longest tenured coach. Coach Arthur is one of the most professional assistants that I’ve ever had and may ever had. Their passion and ability to connect with players is what gets us so excited about this camp. Coach Kyle will program the camp and they will run it just as he would. He’ll obviously be around to help facilitate.Â
As these camps are in our state-of-the-art facility with so many amazing tools but less space than outdoor, we will limit the number of players that can attend. Having said that, we will also have a minnimum number for the camp for run as many drills and application won’t work if we don’t have enough players and this amount of time in a very small group would not make sense for anyone (overload.) We will let you know as soon as we can with this one since it’s so close. Sorry and Thanks!
