Sedona AZ (June 18, 2016) – There is still time to register children for the Challenger Sports’ British Soccer Camp hosted by the city of Sedona Parks and Recreation Department at Posse Grounds Park. The final session is July 11, 2016 – July 15, 2016.
For children ages 2 – 16, the camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger Sports’ British coaching staff who is flown to the U.S. exclusively to work on this program. These coaches study the game at all levels and have identified the key techniques and skills that players need to work on and master to reach their true potential. Each day includes individual foot skills, technical drills, tactical practices, small-sided games, coached scrimmages and a daily World Cup tournament.
Specifically, there are four offerings in this session:
- First Kicks, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., for ages 2 – 3, features a fun introduction to the basic elements of the game and costs $82.
- Mini Soccer from 10:30 a.m. to noon, for ages 4 – 5, features fundamental practices and fun activities, and costs $105.
- Half Day Soccer from 9 a.m. to noon, for ages 6 – 16, features individual development and technique, and costs $132.
- Full Day Soccer from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for ages 6 – 16, is for serious players focusing on techniques and tactical development, and costs $175.
“The first session of this camp went great! These coaches are amazing and this is such a good way to let your child try soccer. From the novice to the experienced soccer player, there’s something for everyone at this camp,” said Rachel Murdoch, city of Sedona parks and recreation manager.
Preregistration is required for this camp at least two weeks prior to the start of the session. Day-of registration will only be accepted if space is available.
