Girls Soccer Network is partnering with Nike Sports Camps and Coach Jackie Bruno to launch the very first Soccerista United Camp this July!
It’s long been our dream to have camps and events for the girls and young women in our community. As our online presence continues to grow and inspire, it makes sense to bring this incredible community together and share our passion for the game in the three-dimensional world.
“After talking to Jackie and hearing her passion about passing along not just her knowledge of the game, but how it can enrich girls’ lives, it was a no-brainer to kick off our journey into live events with her,” Jen Gruskoff, GSN founder, said.
Bruno’s soccer pedigree is extensive, too: She was a four-time Staten Island Advance All-Star and 2011 Wingate Award winner, tallying 91 career goals and 25 assists en route to a PSAL Championship in 2009 and All-State honors in 2009 & 2011.
From 2012-16, she starred for NCAA Division I UMass-Amherst, collecting 31 points on 13 goals and five assists, including six game-winners. She was named captain in 2014 and participated in the 2015 NEWISA Senior Bowl. Currently, she is the assistant coach at Cal State Fullerton and coaches at the rapidly expanding club Legends FC.
