For many years (from the early 1980's through the year 2000) a principle location for the No. 1 Goalkeeper Camp and later the No. 1 Striker Camp was the Marmion Military Academy on Butterfield Road in Aurora. When Marmion closed its dormitory, No. 1 Soccer Camps relocated to Carthage College just across the Wisconsin border on Lake Michigan.
While many of the Illinois' No. 1 faithful made the trip to Carthage, many others had hoped that No. 1 would once again relocate to an area which it served well and had a loyal following.No. 1 Soccer Camps is most happy to announce that it has returned to one of its founding areas...this time at North Central College in Naperville, beginning with a one week program for goalkeepers and field players. With a positive reception, No. 1 will seek to add a second session in 2011 and offer its popular College Prep two week program for high school players.
