The Name Change
NextPlay Soccer School (formerly Slocum Soccer School)
Over 25 years ago, our journey began as Slocum Soccer School, founded in 1998 by Nancy Slocum. Her vision was simple yet groundbreaking: create a day camp dedicated entirely to the female athlete, offering strong female role models and an empowering environment.
In 2012, Slocum partnered with Kate Grant, then the head coach at Lincoln-Sudbury, to introduce a high school training program. Motivated by the high rate of serious injuries among female student-athletes, they focused on ACL injury prevention while progressively building fitness and technical skills to prepare players for their fall seasons.
That same year, Caitlin Pickul joined the coaching staff and soon became an integral partner in running both the day camp and high school prep programs.
For more than a decade, Slocum, Grant, and Pickul directed the programs together. In 2025, after 26 years of leadership, Slocum passed the torch to her trusted partners, and the camp was renamed NextPlay Soccer School.
The only change you will see is the name! The programming, the amazing staff, and the traditions will continue on!
Please note, NextPlay Soccer School is the brand name set up under Top Pick Sports, LLC. Top Pick Sports, LLC is what you will see on your credit card statements when registering for our programs!
