Soccer Camp (1-week Sessions)

This program is designed to help younger soccer players to master the basic ball skills that will be the foundation for everything that they learn in soccer in future years.

Coaches agree that a solid grounding in the basic techniques of ball control, striking and dribbling at an early age is essential in helping players to grasp and execute more complex concepts, drills and match situations as they progress.

These 4 and 5 day programs concentrate on working closely with the camp instructors in a series of games and drills to teach the campers the correct techniques for controlling, striking, passing, shooting and dribbling with a ball while maintaining a high level of fun and enjoyment to keep young players occupied and focused for the whole camp.

All drills will be taught by the Carleton Ravens coaching staff and playing staff. All soccer sessions will be held on the Raven’s Field (turf) at Carleton University. On days of wet or exceptionally hot weather, all sessions will be moved indoors to the indoor artificial turf soccer field in the fieldhouse building at Carleton.

As well as the on-field soccer sessions, all participants will receive a camp T-shirt, a daily cafeteria lunch, and a recreational swim.
