About
Boston Vigor FC is a competitive youth soccer club based in Somerville and open to families from nearby towns across Greater Boston. The program pairs team soccer in local and regional leagues with a training culture built around fundamentals, discipline, and steady technical growth. Head coach Wilson Mineiro, a former Brazilian champion, leads a staff that runs high-energy, small-group style sessions aimed at both new club players and athletes pushing toward higher levels.
What the club offers
Competitive boys teams run from U6 through U15, and girls teams from U10 through U16. Rosters train under licensed coaches who stress technique, tactical awareness, and teamwork. Beyond league play, the club runs an April vacation camp and five weekly summer camps in 2026 for boys and girls at Capuano Field in Somerville. Summer camp enrollment is defined for players born 2012 through 2020; the April 2026 week uses the same venue and full-day format for a comparable multi-year school-age span. Sessions blend technical work with small-sided games, and each camp uses its own GotSport enrollment link.
Mission and development philosophy
The club’s mission is to help young athletes learn and love soccer in a positive, energetic, and inclusive environment. Coaching pairs joy and purpose with healthy competition, sportsmanship, and leadership habits every session. Development goals include strong fundamentals, smarter decision-making on the ball, mental resilience, and a team culture built on accountability, respect, and leadership.
Tryouts and joining competitive teams
Boston Vigor treats player entry as an ongoing process: motivated athletes can request evaluations throughout the year instead of waiting for a single tryout weekend. Evaluations stay age-appropriate and developmental, with honest feedback and guidance on where a player might fit across teams and age groups. Families ready to explore a roster spot should email the staff contact below to schedule or ask next steps.
Camps and clinics
The April vacation camp in 2026 runs Monday through Friday, April 20–24, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Capuano Field in Somerville for boys and girls with birth years from the early 2020s through 2012. Summer camp in 2026 offers five standalone weekly sessions (June 22–26, July 6–10, July 13–17, July 20–24, and July 27–31), also 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Capuano Field, for boys and girls born 2012 through 2020, at $300 per week; families may register for one week or several.
