CHICAGO (Jan. 20, 2026) – UIC head men's soccer coach Sean Phillips announced Tuesday the dates for his Chicago-based summer soccer camp program for 2026. This will be the 20th summer that Coach Phillips has operated soccer day camps in Chicago on the campus of UIC.

Coach Phillips has more than 20 years of collegiate soccer coaching experience at Division I level and more than 25 years of coaching and operating soccer camps for players of all ages and levels, 20 of those years at UIC. The camp staff is comprised of his UIC coaching staff, current and former players from the UIC men's and women's soccer programs, and other select Chicago area coaches.

Sean Phillips Soccer Day Camp held at UIC is designed for boys and girls ages 4-14 at the time of camp. There are five individual one-week sessions offered between the dates of June 8th through July 10th.  Each week has a morning half-day option and full-day option as well as early drop off and late pick up options.

The half-day option, available to campers who are 4-14 at the time of camp, is held from 9 a.m.-Noon (CT). The full-day option, available to campers who are 5-14 at the time of camp, is held from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. (CT). Early drop-off is available beginning at 7:45 a.m. (CT). Late pick-up is available until 5:30 p.m. (CT) each day of camp.

"Our goal for day camp is to create a fun and safe environment where each player improves their skills and learns more about the game with their friends, old and new, for one week or multiple weeks," Coach Phillips said. "Teaching is done through technical training and game-based activities such as soccer tennis, small-sided and larger-sided games throughout the day with the mindset that the game belongs to the kids."
