Monday through Friday-10:00 - 12:00 noon--
We've scheduled the camp so that our players can sleep in, play soccer and still have the afternoon off to enjoy other activities---but this is a training session for serious soccer players.
Ashland Middle School Upper Field
March 22 - 26
Fee: $75.00-A portion of proceeds benefit our scholarship fund which allows us to substantially reduce fees for players from families with limited income.
Use Spring break to master technique and tactics. This camp is recommended for our older youth players who are on competitive teams or plan to tryout for competitive teams for the 2010 - 2011 soccer year. Especially recommended for our 8th grade players planning to go out for soccer in high school. Coach Leo has designed a curriculum targeting the progression of skills for the competitive player and to develop soccer technique and tactical skills needed for young players to master before entering high school. Camp sessions are designed to include conditioning, technical and tactical drills and players will finish off each session with fun, competiitve small sided scrimmages.
