FC Dallas Summer Camps

Hello.. can someone please outline the difference between the FC Dallas Elite Player Camp and the Advanced Player Development Camp? Which one is for higher level players and more challenging? Thinking about sending our DD to one of these. Also how do they compare to the summer camps Texas A&M hosts?

Thanks in advance.

To be honest, they will tailor their program to whatever your DD's level, no matter she is 3 or 23. Name doesn't matter, the most important is remember to bring your cash. LOL

U14, going into 8th grade next year -- plays in TCL.

And I ask about the comparison to the A&M camp because although A&M is a good camp, we've always seen it as more of a "social and have fun and train w/ your friends" type camp. Looking for something a little more challenging, and where they group players based primarily on ability, not social group.

My DD who is in 8th grade this year attended A&M last year and really enjoyed it. But, it is not going to be the most competitive environment. The ID camps at the colleges are going to be your best options for the real college competitive environment. IMHO

Agree with last post. Once they hit a certain point ID camps are the better route. Generally smaller groups, shorter and focused.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Because my DD is only ENTERING 8th grade next year -- as an 04, she's an "old" 7th grader this year, I wasn't sure of she'd still be too young for the ID camps grade wise, so wanted something more challenging than the A&M (or other college) camps. Thought the FC Dallas one would be somewhere in between since they say on the camp webpage:

"Players are initially grouped according to age (U11/U-12, U-14, U-16), then reassigned based on ability in order to maximize development".
