The Godfrey Parks and Recreation Department and Challenger Sports have teamed up to host the week long British Soccer camp during the week of July 23rd at Glazebrook Park.
Each child will be coached by a member of challenger’s British coaching staff flown to the USA exclusively to work on these programs. This camp is just one of 3000 that Challenger Sports are running throughout the US and Canada for a record breaking 120,000 boys and girls of all ages.
Challenger has become the largest soccer camp provided in North America by combining consistently high quality, age specific soccer instruction, along with equally important elements of character, cultural, and nutritional education.
Each day the children will practice and master new individual skills and understand small group and team tactics through Challenger’s innovative camp curriculum. Campers will also scrimmage each day in the always popular Camp World Cup.
The Challenger Coaching staff believes that teaching silky soccer skills is only a part of the process of education young athletes. The coaches will also take time out of the busy weekly schedule to teach lessons on Respect; Responsibility; Integrity; Sportsmanship and Leadership and discuss how these core values relate to soccer, family and school.
The most popular part of each camp is the Camp World 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.
