C A M P L O C AT I O N The UIndy Men’s Soccer 2015 Boys’ Camp will be held at the St. Francis Soccer Club Fields. (UIndy’s soccer program is getting new turf and a new practice facility, causing the camp to be relocated this year to the St. Francis fields, located at 7702 S Arlington Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46237, just 10 minutes from the University.)
CAMP DIRECTOR John Higgins, the 2013 GLVC Coach of the Year, enters his sixth season as the UIndy head man in 2015, with an overall record of 56-29-10 as the Greyhounds’ head coach. In 2014, the Greyhounds claimed the program’s first Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship, defeating Quincy 3-1 on its home field in the league’s title match. UIndy amassed a record of 12-5-3 on the season, with three All-Region selections and four All-GLVC honors. Higgins, just the second UIndy head men’s soccer coach to be named GLVC Coach of the Year, guided his 2013 UIndy team to a program-first NCAA tournament berth after posting a 15-3-3 record on the season, the most wins in program history. He also mentored the program’s first All-American in NSCAA First Team and GLVC Player of the Year Ngwese Ebangwese. The 2013 Greyhounds also broke program records in GLVC wins with 12, and longest win streak (10 matches). Just the second GLVC men’s head soccer coach to be named both All-GLVC as a student-athlete and the league’s Coach of the Year, Higgins led the program to a second GLVC tournament championship final in his career in 2013. The Greyhounds earned their first GLVC regular-season championship as well during the 2013 campaign, taking a co-championship with Quincy after a 12-1-2 GLVC slate.
The 2012 Greyhounds closed out the year just outside of the the conference tournament, posting a record of 7-8-3. Higgins mentored 2012 GLVC Freshman of the Year Reid Strain during the season, as well as All-GLVC Third Team selection Bobby Adkins and First Team Academic All-American Ryan Barnett. In 2011, UIndy posted a record of 12-5-1, falling in a shootout in the in GLVC tournament first round. The Greyhounds posted a program-best nine-game winning streak during the season, which included picking up wins over #4 Northern Kentucky and #24 Quincy. The Greyhounds finished the 2010 season with 10-8 record. The 10-win season was just the seventh in UIndy’s 30-year soccer history. Higgins’s squad posted a Great Lakes Valley Conference record of 8-6, the best in UIndy history. Higgins also coached the Greyhounds to a first-ever trip to the GLVC championship. UIndy became the first #8 seed to win a match in the tournament, much less make it to the championship. A native of Dunfermline, UK, Higgins finished his playing career at UIndy in 2007 and was a two-year assistant coach with the Greyhounds. As a senior, Higgins tallied five goals and two assists for UIndy, earning second team All-GLVC and second team NSCAA All-Region recognition. Higgins earned a spot on the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 5 team and earned Academic All-GLVC honors all four years. In all, Higgins tallied 17 goals and 13 assists as a Greyhound. Higgins also earned an All-GLVC honorable mention and was on the NSCAA All-Region second team as a junior. He was named a 2006 Scholar Athlete Honor Roll member for the North Central Region by the NSCAA. Prior to coming across the Atlantic, Higgins attended Queen Anne High School in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, where he was a Dean’s List student. He played two seasons for the Celtic Football Club before playing for Dunfermline Athletics for two. Higgins earned his bachelor’s degree in PE teaching from the University of Indianapolis in May of 2008. He earned a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from UIndy in 2010.
CAM P OVERVIEW The UIndy men’s soccer coaching staff has designed the Soccer Camp curriculum to comprehensively address all major aspects of the game in a challenging and fun environment. The first half of the morning will focus on technical skills such as dribbling, passing, receiving the ball, shooting, and defending. The second half of the morning will focus on the tactical side of the game; this will include small-sided games, skills challenges, and a 4v4 tournament. The 4v4 tournament will provide the campers an opportunity to compete and put to use the knowledge they’ve obtained from earlier in the morning. At the end of each day, each team coach will award a camper of the day. On the last day of camp, awards will be handed out to the campers who win the skills challenges, and each team coach will name a camper of the week.
