FACE-OFF CAMP
CAMP DATES: July 8th - 12th, 2026
THE FACE-OFF CAMP
The camp begins at 6:00pm on Wednesday, July 8th on the campus of Cal State University, San Marcos. We only accept 4 players in grades 9-11 and 4 players in grades 5-8 in this camp. Our Face-off Camp focuses on intensive instructional techniques in the art of facing off. You will learn several different techniques, as well as any new rules. You will work on hand speed, body and foot positioning, and learn drills you can take home to improve these skills. We work on your mechanics and teach you how to be a better face off player for your team. Players will have several sessions in face-off specific drills and then will integrate into the main camp to finish out the week. Camp starts with face-off skills, then into individual fundamentals, transition skills, team skills and finishing with game play at the end of camp. This camp ends at 12:00pm on Sunday, July 12th.
