Functional/Positional Camp

(Open to Non PDA Players)

$175 PDA Players, $200 NON PDA Players

 

This 3-day camp is specifically designed for serious soccer players between the ages of 8-14.  This camp will focus on improving the individual players ability to play a specific position on the field.  Players will have the option to register as a defender, midfielder, or striker.  Each position will have a specific skill set for improvement each day.  Players may come together at times, for example when forwards are attacking we may add defenders, or if we add a transitional element to the session we would add in the midfielders with the backs and forwards.
