This camp is designed for younger players (ages 6-10) at all levels of experience in the sport of soccer... from beginners who want to learn the basic skills and tactics of the game, to higher-level youth club/travel players who are looking to refine their technical abilities and gain greater tactical understanding of the game. Campers will be divided into training groups based on their age and ability level, so as to ensure that all players are challenged to learn new skills and practice those skills against other players of similar ability.
