THE BRITISH ARE COMING!

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 program of British Soccer training camps right here in our community.

Covington Neighborhoods Parks and Recreation Department has again teamed up with Challenger Sports to host the week long British Soccer camp during the week of June 21st – 25th at The Bill Cappel Youth Sports 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. Challenger will hold over 2,500 British Soccer camps this summer and will coach over 100,000 players between the ages of 4 and 18 and over 20,000 parents and coaches.

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 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 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.

Covington Parks and Recreation are offering British Soccer camp sessions for the following ages:

Ages 5-9, 10-14 9am-12pm OR 5pm-8pm $55

Covington Neighborhoods Parks and Recreation Department are sponsoring the British Soccer Camp to make it more affordable for everyone in the local area.

Each camper will receive a free camp t shirt, soccer ball, giant soccer poster and an individual skills performance evaluation all as part of the British Soccer Camp experience.

Space is limited – parents are encouraged to sign up on line in advance to avoid disappointment.
