Soccer Camp *Minimum age now 4yrs old! More weeks for 2023!

Coach Brian Schultz and members of the STA soccer coaching staff and team will run this camp open to ages 4-14 years old. Campers will be split into groups according to age and skill set. 
 
For ages 4-6, the camp will focus on introductory skills, in addition to coordination, balance, and movement. The youngest campers will focus on exercise, fun, and enjoyment of the game in a safe environment. Small soccer-related games will be the main focus of this group.
 
For ages 7-14, the week will consist of key elements of the game: Dribbling, passing, finishing, defending, ball mastery, and specialized goalkeeper training. In addition, campers will develop tactical awareness in small-sided and full-sided activities. Campers will work on improving basic soccer skills along with their fitness and agility in order to develop as a complete player.
 
For boys interested in attending and playing soccer at St. Albans, this camp will help them learn more about the St. Albans soccer program by being able to interact and work with current and former players and coaches.
