The Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy teaches girls soccer skills. They've taught former National Team star Mia Hamm not only how to play soccer, but how to lead. Danielle Slaton, the current assistant coach at Northwestern University and Olympic Medalist, will be teaching this year's training camp in Oakbrook. It isn't cheap, but they do have scholarships available for the daughters of military service members between the ages of 12 and 18.
