Baltimore, MD Camps

We are excited to bring our training camps to Baltimore, Md!

Founder and Director of Coaching, Tom Paparounis, an alumni of Calvert Hall College High School played collegiately for Salisbury University and professionally in the USL for the Carolina Dynamo. Tom has actively been working with goalkeepers of all ages for the past 15 years in Chicago and is now bringing his training camps back to his hometown of Baltimore, MD.
