THE BRITISH ARE COMING……AGAIN!
The number one youth soccer company in the United States, Challenger Sports, has again been invited to hold one of their nationwide British Soccer training camps in Maumelle.
Maumelle Soccer Club hosts one of the largest camps of its kind in the region, and has again teamed up to host the week long British Soccer camp during the week of June 25th at Rolling Oaks Soccer Complex.
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. This camp is just one of over1500 that Challenger Sports is running throughout the US and Canada for a record breaking 115,000 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 players will practice and master new individual skills and understand small group and team tactics through Challenger’s innovative camp curriculum. Most campers will also scrimmage each day in the always popular Camp World Cup!
This year, and due to ever increasing demand, specific coaching sessions for the competitive / classic level player have been added. These coaching groups will specifically cater to those with, and involved in higher level play. These groups will be coached by some of Challenger’s most experienced coaches.
Challenger Sports has introduced a new curriculum this year called Challenger 1,000 Touches Curriculum. Challenger’s New
1,000 Touches Curriculum will provide high levels of repetition of the most valuable and frequently used soccer skills, and, as the title suggests, it will give each player over
1,000 points of contact with the ball in each 3 hour daily camp. The Challenger Coaching staff believes that teaching silky soccer skills is only a part of the process of educating 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.
