JUNIORS CAMP (U5 – U9)

WINTER CAMPS (U7 – U19)

Join us this Holiday season for two great winter camp offerings. Our Winter Skills School (U7-U12) & Goalkeeper camp (U9-U14) is a two day technical camp where field players focus on individual skills such as ball control, dribbling and passing/receiving techniques. Goalkeepers focus on shot-stopping, angle play, footwork and more.

Our High-School GK Clinic (U14-U19) is a technically focused clinic, providing high-quality training at an intense pace to help you get ready for post holiday training. Each session will focus on footwork & handling, shot-stopping, crossing techniques and more.

Both camps will be held January 2nd & 3rd at our Cincinnati North and Cincinnati South locations.

A Look Back at Gateway Showcase 2024

This month, Kings Hammer held the Women’s and Men’s Gateway Showcase for teams U14 – U19 to get out in front of college coaches. Kings Hammer Xenia had multiple teams participate in the Women’s Gateway Showcase this year, including our KHA1 Xenia G06/07 and KHA1 Xenia G08/09 teams. We were treated to some incredible competition and would like to give a huge thank you to all of the participating team, staff and collegiate athletic programs that attended.

Check out the video below for some highlights from the Women’s Gateway Showcase 2024!

KHA Xenia Make their NPL Debut

This past month, our KH Academy Xenia ladies made their debut in the National Premier League (NPL). Our KHA1 Xenia G06/07 team had their first match at Spooky Nook Sports Plex where they took on TempesT FC and beat them 4-2. Our KHA1 Xenia G08/09 team will also make their debut in the NPL in Spring 2025. We are excited to take this step up in our competition and proud of the Kings Hammer Academy girls for all of their hard work!

November Education: Making the Most of Your Winter Break

For most of our Kings Hammer teams and players, November marks the end of the first part of our soccer calendar, and December brings the start of a significant break for players and parents alike.  The absence of travel, practice, and game-day stress, combined with more time spent with family, can often bring a much-needed break and provides an ideal time for players to recover and recharge.

It also presents unique challenges and opportunities for young athletes to maintain or build fitness, enhance their ball skills, improve game intelligence or understanding, and prepare for the spring season.

REST AND RECUPERATE

Just like during the summer break, families need to recognize the value of some rest during this period.  This is especially important for athletes who have incurred injuries over the course of the fall season.  Rest does not have to mean laying around on the couch for long periods, but perhaps finding less stressful activities (mentally and physically.)
