When the Canadian high school FEIA was looking for a goalkeeper in the summer of 2025, Štěpán took his chance at SokrCamp with both hands. His performances won him the largest scholarship in the team, and after a successful season he finished his time in Canada with a Canadian high school diploma.

After a strong SokrCamp, David received an offer to study and play football at a high school in St. Louis. Unable to start straight away, he agreed with the coach to postpone his arrival by a semester. Today he is wearing the school's shirt and gathering his first experience of American football.

Kryštof's technique and game intelligence caught the eye of the Spanish programme FutEdu in Valencia, whom he will play for from the 2026/2027 season. His style of play is a fine fit for Spanish football.

Frequently asked questions

What you need to know about SokrCamp

What age group is SokrCamp for?

Football talents aged 14 to 23 from Czechia and Slovakia. At the camp players are further split into 4 groups by age and level.

How many players from the camp receive a scholarship or a new club offer?

Not every SokrCamp participant receives an offer, of course. Coaches and scouts are looking above all for players whose performances stand out and who fit their programme. In previous editions around 30% of participants received a concrete offer.

How does accommodation work at the camp?

Players stay in a newly refurbished part of the hotel inside the Nymburk Sports Centre. Twin and triple rooms are available, and you can request a particular roommate in advance.

How do meals work at the camp?

Players are provided with three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Main meals always offer a choice of three healthy options suited to athletes' needs. Breakfast is a buffet with a choice of bread, fruit, vegetables, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, eggs or pancakes. Drinks are available throughout the day, and isotonic drinks and electrolytes are available by the benches during matches.
In the case of food allergies or specific dietary requirements, such as a gluten-free diet, the player is responsible for choosing the meals that suit their individual needs.

How is medical cover arranged at the camp?

Medical cover is provided throughout SokrCamp by two doctors: Dr Dagmar Karbanová, a paediatrician with 40 years' experience, and Dr Julie Šlamborová. They are on hand during training sessions and matches to give first aid, treat minor injuries and pulled muscles or apply strapping, and are also available outside the sporting programme, including at night.

What is included in the camp fee?

Entry to the whole camp, accommodation and meals for the full duration, playing kit, a SokrCamp T-shirt and video footage of the match.

Do I need to speak English?

English is neither required nor necessary. Training sessions and interactive panels are held in English, but everything is always translated into Czech. SokrCamp is also a great chance to practise English naturally and try it out in real situations. If a player or parent would like a one-to-one conversation with a coach or scout, the organisers are always ready to help with translation.

How does the camp relate to a scholarship in the USA?

At the camp you are seen live by coaches and scouts from American, Canadian and European programmes. We record video footage and feedback, which form the basis for recruitment and scholarship negotiations. Some scholarship offers may be put to players and their parents by coaches during SokrCamp itself.

Is the camp sold out?

The current 2027 edition is still accepting applications.

Do parents have to attend SokrCamp?

The whole SokrCamp programme and the Nymburk Sports Centre are open to parents too. We recommend taking the chance to attend our guests' talks, meet them in person and watch the training sessions and matches on site. Parents' attendance is not required, however; in previous editions around 40% of them took an active part in the programme.

Where do parents stay?

Parents wishing to attend SokrCamp should arrange their own accommodation outside the Nymburk Sports Centre, for example at a hotel or through Airbnb in Nymburk or nearby Poděbrady. Accommodation and meals for parents are NOT included in the SokrCamp fee and parents arrange them themselves.

What is the cancellation policy?

Once paid, the fee is non-refundable. In case of illness or other serious circumstances you can contact the organisers, who will try to find a replacement. If a replacement is found, 50% of the fee will be refunded. Finding a replacement is not guaranteed.
