ISC Iron Camp 2026
Join the Iowa Soccer Club for the Return of the Iron Camp! Our club is proud to offer the highest quality instruction possible in Eastern Iowa.
ISC Iron Camp Dates: July 12-15, 2026
Camp Location: Iowa City Kickers Soccer Complex
What is Iron Camp?
The Iron Camp is back by popular demand! For the past few years, we rebranded the Iron Camp as the Elite Skills Camp for 13U-19U players, but the players wanted the Iron Camp back! The Iron Camp will be similar to the Elite Skills Camp except there will be an additional fitness element that was a huge part of the old Iron Camp. This is a camp for the dedicated player. Players do not need to be ISC competitive players to join the Iron Camp. The camp is geared for any player who is willing to work extremely hard each day on their skill development and fitness development. We will focus and spend our time on the following four main elements, 1) Fitness Development 2) Skill Development 3) 1v1 Games to enhance both skill and fitness development 4) Ball Striking development for short and mid-range passing. Our camp is highly organized, and all coaches have a clear idea what the teaching goals are for each day at camp.
