The Regional Development School (RDS) from Chicago Fire Camps and Training is an elite individual training program specifically for top competitive travel players looking to aspire to the next level. The program consists of four seasons of training that range from 6 - 8 weeks in length.

The RDS is a great opportunity for competitive soccer players, aged 9-14, to participate in supplemental training beyond their club practices. While club practices are focused on the tactical components of the game, the RDS focuses on foot skills and is designed to improve overall ball control. The advanced curriculum is focused on the individual player and is designed to enhance technical abilities. The RDS will improve 1st touch, moves and encourage confidence and composure on the ball.

The strict coaching ratio of 1:12 allows players to receive excellent individual attention and coach interaction, all leading to a comprehensive electronic evaluation at the end of the program. These evaluations provide qualitative feedback that provides parents and coaches with an invaluable tool to aid their player's development.

This winter season we will have 5 locations hosting our 8-week player course.
