NOBLESVILLE, Ind. — Footballing brothers Tommy and Tanner Thompson aren’t twins. They’re just joined at the hip.

Both excelled on the pitch growing up in California, then headed to Indiana to play college soccer before moving onto the pros. Tommy played only one year at Indiana, departing to become a homegrown signing by the San Jose Earthquakes. Tanner completed his degree and got drafted by Minnesota United FC in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft, but ultimately wasn’t offered a contract and ended up signing with the Indy Eleven.

Now the two bros are linking up to run their own youth soccer camps, aptly named TT Skillz Soccer Camps. The first camp — for kids ages 5-14 — will be hosted by Noblesville United Soccer Club on July 27 and 28 from 5-8 p.m. ET. Click here to register and for more information.

“There will be some guest appearances,” Tanner told reporters following the Indy Eleven’s 2-0 home win over Jacksonville Armada FC on July 15. “There are four coaches. All the information is on the website. We’re looking forward to having a great turnout.”

Several Indy Eleven players are among the guest appearances: defender Daniel Keller, forward David Goldsmith and goalkeeper Christian Lomeli. The Thompsons’ plan is to eventually branch out to California for future camps in Sacramento, per their website.

As sons of Gregg Thompson, a former U.S. men’s national team player, the brothers certainly possess the “skillz” to instruct and motivate the next generation of footballers. Here’s a clip of Tommy showing off his otherworldly ability via SJEarthquakes.com:
