Soccer is one of the world's most popular sports. Next month, the British will be coming to Snowmass Village to lead a week's worth of competitive and not-so-competitive camps.
Challenger British Soccer camps are coming to Snowmass Village August 3-7.
There are five different programs from which to choose, including First Kicks, Mini Soccer (two segments) and half-day programs that run either 9 a.m. until noon or 5-8 p.m. All ages, from 3 years and up, are covered in the schedule. Classes range in price from $70-125; register less than 10 days out and a $10 per person late fee will be assessed.
Host a coach in your home and receive $80 towards the price of the class!
According to regional business manager Grant Hall, Challenger British Soccer is the largest soccer coaching company in the world, hosting close to 100,000 players in its U.S. camps this summer. More than 700 coaches from the U.K. will participate in the U.S. camps. “The coaches come and stay in each community that they work in,” Hall said, adding that the coaches will be “interacting” in the community as well.
Challengers' 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 participant will also be treated to lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship.
Typiclaly, 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, giant soccer poster and an individual skills performance evaluation.
