Designed for players of all abilities, our groups and teams are separated by age groups. Kids Pro Soccer camp emphasizes both team play and individual skill development.
Training focuses on developing the full range of soccer techniques including: dribbling and passing with different surfaces of the foot, receiving the ball on the ground and from the air, shooting, heading, and awareness.Camps offer positional drills simulating games, and at least two scrimmages and games for full day campers with drill work and practice filling the gaps between games. Players are encouraged to try different positions throughout the week.
Fridays are World Cup Fridays with plenty of tournament play, skill contests, and fun! Campers are encouraged to dress in their favorite World Cup Soccer team uniform for World Cup Friday. Campers are exposed to a wide variety of skills in a fun and positive environment to learn soccer.
