The team preseason camp sessions are mandatory for all players. There are 4-5 days of 2-2.5 hour team practice sessions. The sessions will consist of 1-1.5 hours of training and 30min-1 hour of scrimmages. The emphasis will be on specific team structure while reinforcing the functional and tactical information of the season practices. Per the NASC alliance with UAH soccer program, the Camp Directors for the preseason team practice sessions will be NASC's DOC, UAH Women's Head Coach James Ballamy, and UAH Men's Head Coach John Carrier.
