The British are coming!
March 19, 2011
O'Fallon, MO
As the number of soccer players in the USA nears 20 million, the number one soccer company in the United States, Canada and Australia, Challenger Sports, has been invited to hold one of their nationwide programs of British Soccer training camps right here in the growing soccer community of O’Fallon.
O’Fallon and Challenger Sports have teamed up to host the weeklong British Soccer camp during the week of July 25th – July 29th, at O’Fallon Sports Park.
The camp 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. Challenger will hold over 3,000 British Soccer camps this summer and will coach over 115,000 players between the ages of 4 and 18 and over 20,000 parents and coaches.
Challenger’s British Soccer Camp is more than a week of drills and skills. In addition to taking part in a daily regimen of foot skill development, technical and tactical practices and daily tournament style plays, each child will also be treated to a rich cultural experience and lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship.
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.
O’Fallon Parks and Recreation is offering British Soccer camp sessions to ALL children for the following ages:
Ages 3 – 4 9 to 10 a.m. $ 89
Ages 5 – 6 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. 102
Ages 6 – 9 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. 130
Ages 10 – 14 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. 130
Teams are also welcome to attend and receive a week of focused instruction to prepare them for the fall season.
Each camper will receive a free camp t-shirt, soccer ball, soccer poster and an individual skills performance evaluation as well as a free replica soccer jersey ($39 value) with early online registration. To sign up for the camp, please visit www.challengersports.com or register here.
