The camps 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.
This camp is just one of 1500 that Challenger Sports are running
throughout the US and Canada for a record breaking 65,000 boys
and girls of all ages.
Challenger has become the largest soccer camp
provider 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.
Challenger has also teamed up with National restaurant
Chain Mr. Goodcents® Subs and Pastas to introduce a new and
much needed element to the young athletes on health and nutrition.
Challenger has created a fun and interactive way to help the campers
learn how important it is to eat a balanced diet – Campers
will get to design and draw their own healthy sandwich, selecting
a balance of ingredients from each of the food groups.
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.
Each camper will receive a free camp t shirt,
soccer ball, player evaluation and end of camp gift. In addition,
any child who signs up online at least 45 days prior to camp will
receive a genuine British Soccer replica Jersey (value $30)
