History
Head UIC Men's Soccer Coach Sean Phillips began operating soccer camps on UIC's campus in the summer of 2006. The camp program has provided a platform for players of all levels to enjoy, learn and pursue the game . While former campers have participated on youth national teams and competed at all levels of NCAA and NAIA soccer, the number one goal of Sean Phillips Soccer is has been to create an environment where each player loves the game more and becomes a better player after each experience. Goalkeeper programming and college ID opportunities are beginning in the summer of 2018.
