The Dynamic Development soccer camp, known as D2, is set to make its 13th appearance this summer, running from June 15 through June 19 at Thompson High School in Alabama.
A Summer Tradition Returns
Founded and directed by Dan DeMasters, the Thompson head coach of girls' soccer, the camp has evolved into a staple for youngsters aged five to twelve who want to sharpen their fundamentals while enjoying a competitive atmosphere.
Each morning the schedule begins with skill‑building drills, followed by afternoon matches that let participants apply what they have learned in a game setting.
DeMasters has capped registration at 200 campers for this year, and the fee structure includes $230 for the standard program and $250 for the Elite Camp, with sign‑ups currently open at dynamicdevelopmentcamps.com.
What makes this edition especially noteworthy is the timing, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup, which adds a layer of excitement as campers can mimic the tournament’s format and spirit.
The camp’s staff draws on a pool of collegiate players and veteran high school coaches, among them Sean McBride, the longtime head coach at Homewood, who is celebrated as a legend in the state’s soccer community.
Beyond skill development, DeMasters emphasizes mentorship, noting that many alumni have progressed to collegiate soccer and earned all‑American honors, underscoring the camp’s lasting impact.
With a blend of technical training, competitive play, and a nod to the global tournament, the D2 Soccer Camp promises another memorable summer for the next generation of Alabama talent.
