Summer Soccer Camp Ages 7-11

Camp Director: Coach Jacob

13GEM Sporting Summer Soccer Camp is a great program for children to spend Summer Break improving skills, expanding knowledge, releasing energy through exercise, and social interaction with current and yet-to-be-made friends!  Our goal is for campers to get a healthy mix of competition, cooperation, and fun through teaching concepts such as Sportsmanship, Integrity, and Best Effort.

Camp Activities

Each day campers will participate in a variety of drills for skill development in the fundamental areas of dribbling, passing, defending, shooting, etc.  Various small-sided games such as Rondos, 1v1s, and other objective-based games will be played so campers can hone fundamental skills under pressure.  Full-sided and small-sided regulation games of Soccer will allow campers to synthesize everything they have learned into the game environment.

Focus on Gameplay

While campers will engage in activities such as individual dribbling drills to develop fundamental skills, the majority of camp time will be spent playing games.  A mix of regulation and modified games throughout the schedule will keep campers interested and enthusiastic about each activity.

Growing Awareness

One of the primary objectives for all 13GEM Sporting programs is to teach players, especially younger players, how to SEE and THINK the game, not just physically play the game.  Campers will be taught how individual skills are used in combination with teammates to create a team unit that works together.  They will spend time learning roles, responsibilities, and strategic thinking for playing Soccer in the 13GEM Sporting style of play.

13GEM Sporting T-Shirt Included

Each camper will receive one 13GEM Sporting t-shirt to wear to camp as part of the registration fee.  Additional t-shirts can be purchased for $15 each.

Summer Basketball Camp ages 7-11

Camp Director: Coach Chris

Weekly summer basketball camps will stick to a routine schedule on a weekly basis. While drills and games on any given day are subject to change, the general outline and format for camps will follow a consistent plan from week-to-week (M-Th).

Day 1- PREACH

We will spend the day learning the basic rules and violations of the sport and instructing the campers on how to play within them. We "PREACH" knowledge, respect and sportsmanship!

Day 2- TEACH

We will spend the day running drills or games that will build the skills and abilities required of the sport. Our goal is to "TEACH" the campers to play safely and successfully.

Day 3- REACH

We will spend the day building upon the skills and abilities required for basketball success that we worked on the previous day. We will "REACH" for new heights!

Day 4- PLAY

The final day of camps will be full of mini-games and competitions where the campers can test their newfound skills and abilities. We will "PLAY" our way into a new understanding!

13GEM Sporting T-Shirt Included

Each camper will receive one 13GEM Sporting t-shirt to wear to camp as part of the registration fee.  Additional t-shirts can be purchased for $15 each.

Summer Multi-Sport Camp Ages 4-6

Camp Director: Coach Jacob

The importance of children learning a variety of sports skills rather than specializing in just one sport cannot be overstated.  Many concepts are universal to all sports, and learning how to apply the same concept under a multitude of conditions will create a better athlete later in life if and when a single sport is chosen to pursue as a life-goal.  This is the premise for this camp: the more sports an athlete knows how to play, generally the better the athlete is in their specialized sport.  The Multi-Sport camp will focus on Basketball and Soccer, two sports that share many Universal Concepts.

Equal Time in Both Sports

Campers will spend 45 minutes learning and playing Basketball and 45 minutes learning and playing Soccer.

Focus on Gameplay

Campers will participate in a wide variety of games that are designed to develop skills and awareness.  Even skill drill activities that are designed to develop a specific skill or concept will be couched in some form of objective or competition.  This will allow campers to not only learn the physical skills of sports, but also the social-emotional concepts of Sportsmanship, Integrity, and Best Effort.  They will naturally learn how to win and lose with grace and respect through the process of gameplay.

Developmentally Appropriate Equipment

13GEM Sporting will be providing Basketball goals that are adjustable from 4.5ft to 8.5ft.  The NBA Guidelines for "Basketball Goal Height by Age" will be used to determine the hoop height for these campers.  Smaller, lighter size 4 Basketballs will be provided to make shooting the ball easier.  During the Soccer portion, 4'x6' goals will be used alongside smaller, softer balls to account for playing inside.

Expert Coaches

Coach Jacob and Coach Chris will combine to coach this camp.  With Coach Jacob being an expert in Soccer coaching and Coach Chris being an expert in Basketball coaching, campers will be exposed to high-quality information in a high-quality environment.  We expect players to grow rapidly in skill, awareness, confidence, and by extension, joy of playing these sports through successful experiences.

13GEM Sporting T-Shirt Included

Each camper will receive one 13GEM Sporting t-shirt to wear to camp as part of the registration fee.  Additional t-shirts can be purchased for $15 each.

13GEM Sporting Coaches

Coach Jacob

     My personality and skill set caused me to gravitate towards the field of Education and more specifically Physical Education.  First and foremost, I am a leader and function best in leadership roles.  I enjoy the responsibility and accountability of being a leader.  There is no greater responsibility or area of accountability than teaching children how to become healthy contributors to society.  The reason I chose Physical Education is because my favorite activity to participate in is playing sports.  I always wanted a job that afforded me the opportunity to do what I love every day and teaching Physical Education affords me that opportunity.  The combination of helping others improve themselves while engaging in sports and exercise makes being a PE Teacher the ideal job.  My enjoyment and enthusiasm for this profession combined with a natural talent for teaching creates an enjoyable class atmosphere that empowers all students to reach new levels of achievement.  It is important that students have positive exercise experiences early in Life to increase the likelihood of engaging in a health enhancing level of exercise into adulthood.  

     My primary mission is to help students cultivate the skills, knowledge, and intrinsic motivation to maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity for a Lifetime by engaging in sports and exercise.

     I graduated from the University of Georgia in May 2007 with a Bachelor’s in P-12 Health and Physical Education.  I have 13 years teaching experience in a wide variety of teaching situations: public, private, special needs school, urban, suburban, in the classroom, in the gym, contracted teacher, substitute teacher, literally all grades PK3-12, academic classes, and an after-school program to name a few. 

      Soccer has exponentially increased in popularity since my childhood in the 90s.  I grew up playing every sport except Soccer until I was introduced to it at UGA during my PE Teaching Curriculum.  I instantly fell in love with the game and realized I grew up playing the wrong sports... I was made to play Soccer.  It instantly became my favorite sport, and all my personal athletic time was spent learning how to play and read the game.  Through teaching PE and coaching other Soccer programs, I have coached many children of all skill levels: from beginners touching a ball for the first time to advanced players on other youth Premier teams.  Now after 20 years of learning how to play, read, and coach the game through real Life experiences, I feel prepared and excited to launch 13GEM Sporting Soccer, and later in 2025, 13GEM Elite.  

    My objective is to create a program culture that emphasizes sharing the ball, playing simple soccer, and playing team ball over solo ball.  I want to get players away from thinking that every play needs to be a YouTube highlight or result in a goal.  Understanding tactics such as build-up play, stringing together passing sequences, using a drop pass to relieve pressure, and playing off-ball by reading the game are lacking in many of today's young players.  I want players focusing on strengthening their weak foot dribbling and passing over learning how to do a Rainbow, Elastico, Step Over, or some other flashy, nonessential trick.  

     Receive, pass, offer.  

     Share the ball.  

     Score goals as a unit.  

     Pressure the ball to regain possession.  

     Cover for teammates as needed.  

     Play simple soccer.  

     Simple soccer is beautiful.  I want to train players in these philosophies because it is my favorite style of play, and I believe it will create the best footballers/soccer players.

Coach Chris

     As a child I played a litany of sports - Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Tennis were sports I played throughout high school in an organized fashion. Once in college, I participated in a range of intramural sports and activities such as Flag Football, Volleyball, Badminton, Ultimate Frisbee and Softball to name a few.  I was not afforded the opportunity to join in group or individual sports training or exercise routines of any kind while growing up. Because of that, my competitive days came to an end after high school. My love for competition and sports, however, did not stop there, so after high school I tried to find my way back onto the athletic field.

     I attended Kennesaw State University to attain my Bachelor's of Science in Exercise and Health Science with a minor in Health Promotion. I began volunteering as a student assistant with the men's basketball program in my Junior year. I spent two years in that role before moving into the independent sector. I began an internship for school credit as a basketball skill development specialist at a company in Atlanta called The Skill Factory. While there I spent two and a half years interning in a variety of roles - basketball skill trainer, sports performance enhancement specialist, AAU/YBOA basketball team coach, sports management roles and sports marketing capacities. After graduating college I continued working with TSF to build my resume and find my purpose. I am grateful for that experience because I was given the opportunity of working with some of the best basketball players in the world (James Harden, John Wall, Paul Millsap, Jeff Teague, and Dennis Schröder just to name a few).  After leaving TSF, I began building my own personal client base in the Basketball skill development realm. Since then, I have built a client base full of high-level professional basketball players. I expanded my reach to include working with beginners up through higher skilled players.

     My career goal has always been to coach at the professional level. With a singular focus and dedication I was able to see that goal realized in 2023. I was offered a position as an assistant coach overseeing player development with Al Ahli, a professional sports club located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 2024 I was blessed to be offered a contract for a second season. I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia. I am excited to transition from Atlanta to the greater-metro Seattle area. 

     The idea of helping my oldest brother, Coach Jacob, grow 13GEM Sporting into a world leading center for sports development and athlete enhancement is an exciting opportunity that I could not pass. I look forward to assisting in the growth of 13GEM Sporting while continuing to pursue my dream as an overseas professional basketball coach. I look forward to bringing a high level of professionalism and relationship building to the young athletes of the greater Seattle, Washington, area. My specialty is Basketball, but my love is sports! 

I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

I get the ball. I pass the ball. I get the ball. I pass the ball.

13GEM- The Documentary

This is the literal origin story of 13GEM.  I always wanted to open a gym and teach PE on my own, but there was no social mission behind what I wanted to do.  When I tore my ACL in August 2015 and had to move back to Georgia to heal I had lots of free time on my hands and decided to go into Atlanta and help those who needed it.  Unbeknownst to me, I was uncovering my Life's Mission.  This is the street corner I vow to return to and build a 13GEM facility.
