Camp Process and General Training Guidelines/Standards

Once a determination is made as to the level of play most suitable for the player, players will be separated by age and ability.

Beginning Player

Emphasis on technical development (proper technique) with exposure to short sided game play

Advanced Player

Emphasis will be placed on tactical play (i.e., decision making) along with creative play (use of moves in game-like situations).

Final Evening

Ending day 4v4 tournament, skills challenge, and Awards Ceremony – Parents encouraged to attend Players will play in a 4v4 tournament. They will play approximately 5 ten minute games and rotate teammates. Players will be judged on how well they do (i.e., win, tie, loss, assists and goals scored). Players will also compete in a skills competition

There will be a special snack provided by the camp after the tournament followed by a skills competition and awards ceremony.

 

 

Water breaks will be taken as often as needed.  It is a good idea for the players to begin the hydration process several weeks before camp. Have them carry a small water bottle around with them and encourage them to drink from it often.  Encourage your child(ren) to drink plenty of water (more than normal) the week before camp is scheduled to begin.  This will help the players tremendously.

 

Players, come prepared to work hard to improve yourself.  You will definitely need a soccer ball (put your name on it) for we will keep you moving.

 

We keep a close watch on our players.  If there are any concerns or something we should need to know, please let us know.
