The Richie Grant Soccer Camp is well known for its instructional demonstrations which use quality collegiate players from the University of Memphis and other programs to support our lead staff.

Lambuth University is located in Jackson, Tennessee, a growing town of 80,000 people. Lambuth is just 80 miles east of Memphis and 120 miles west of Nashville. Jackson is easily accessible by Highways TN 20, U.S. 45 and 70, and Interstate 40. Stately Georgian buildings connected by shaded walkways and spacious lawns characterize the beautiful 50 acre campus. The campus also features air-conditioned rooms, indoor swimming pool, sand volleyball, and bermuda grass fields.
