INTRUCTIONS All phases of soccer will be covered with the emphasis being placed on the development of skills, techniques, and an understanding of the game. All instructors are qualified, experienced individuals. We hope to develop in each camper not only skills, but an understanding and love for the game of soccer. Full-time trainers will be in attendance at all times. A complete written evaluation will be given to each student at the end of the week's training.

GOALKEEPER TRAINING Small group and individual training sessions with an experienced staff will cover all aspects of goalkeeping. Morning training sessions will focus on the technical breakdown of diving, handling of crosses, distribution and shot handling. Afternoon and evening sessions will put goalkeepers in match-like situations to showcase the progress made in the technical sessions.

RULES AND REGULATIONS All persons enrolled for the camp will be required to attend all training sessions and to comply with the rules and regulations governing the camp. Any violations are abuse of these rules and regulations and could cause immediate dismissal from the camp without refund.
