Marion Recreation has teamed up with Challenger Sports to host a week-long British soccer camp during the week of June 14-18, at the Glenwood Soccer Complex.
The camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger’s British coaching staff flown to the USA exclusively to work on these programs.
Challengers says their British Soccer Camp is more than a week of drills and skills. In addition to taking part in a daily regimen of foot skill development, technical and tactical practices and daily tournament style plays, each child will also be treated to a rich cultural experience and lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship.
Organizers say the most popular part of each camp is the Camp Word Cup. The coaches use this daily tournament to teach the players about life, customs and traditions of other countries. The campers are asked to make up cheers, bring flags, dress up and learn as much as they can about the country they represent.
Marion Recreation is offering British Soccer camp sessions for the following ages:
Ages 3-4, 9-10am and 5-6pm for $68
Ages 4-6, 10:30-12pm OR 6:15-7:45pm for $80
Ages 6-16, 9-12pm OR 5-8pm for $110
Ages 8-18, 9-12pm AND 5-8pm, for $160
Teams are also welcome to attend and receive a week of focused instruction to prepare them for the fall season.
Each camper will receive a camp t-shirt, soccer ball, giant soccer poster and an individual skills performance evaluation. In addition, any child who signs up online at least 45 days prior to camp will receive a British Soccer replica jersey.
