Missouri Western head women’s soccer coach Chad Edwards has announced 2012 summer camp dates. There will be two camps with a day camp going from June 25 – June 28 and a team camp starting on June 28 and going through July 1.
Day Camps
June 25 – 28: 9 am – 12 pm
The Missouri Western State University Soccer Camp provides boys and girls, ages 6-13, the opportunity to receive four full days of high level soccer instruction in a fun, rewarding environment.
The most important coaching objective is to combine fun with quality teaching. Camp will focus on development of the player’s technical ability. Topics covered will include dribbling, passing, receiving, and shooting. On-field coaches will help develop a better understanding of tactical play through small-sided games.
Fun activities will also be included as the part of the daily routine.
All levels of players will be challenged to improve their play. Each camper will be evaluated and placed with similar age and ability.
The camp cost is $80 and registration is due one week prior to camp dates. For more information please contact head coach Chad Edwards at 816-271-5902 or email [email protected]
Team Camps
June 28 – July 1
High School Team Camps are designed to allow the player and coaches to train in a demanding, college type environment with the focus on growing individually and as a team. Every team will train with a college coach assigned to them during the day and play games each evening.
*Individual players are encouraged to sign up as well and will be placed on a team the first day of camp.
A College Search Forum will be conducted that allows players to have a better understanding of recruiting, the demands of being a student athlete, and the difference between various levels of play. Peer talks between current Missouri Western players and campers will be held to answer any questions campus may have.
GOALKEEPER TRAINING – ALL SESSIONS
Goalkeeper training will be an important feature and emphasis of our camps. Keepers will train separately from field players and then be involved in small-sided full field games each day. Our goal keeping staff will cover the technical, tactical, physical, and mental aspects of the position.
The camp cost is $250 for commuter and $300 for resident. The camp runs from 8 am – 9 pm each day with lunch and dinner provided. Registration is due one week prior to camp dates. For more information please contact head coach Chad Edwards at 816-271-5902 or email [email protected]
