SUMMER CAMP 2024
We are excited to announce the 43rd Annual WEST BRANCH SOCCER CAMP this summer. This camp is the longest-running sports camp in Clinton County! The camp is designed for boys and girls ages 5-14 (Grades K-8). It is held at our club (173-180 Havenview Drive, Lock Haven, PA 17745). Campers get five great days of soccer, a t-shirt, AND a soccer ball all for $85. There is LIMITED ENROLLMENT so be sure to register early to save your spot! Read on for more information and the application.
Dear Parents:
The emphasis of the West Branch Soccer Day Camp is to create a learning environment where the camper is introduced to the skills, techniques, and tactics associated with the modern game of soccer. Older, more advanced players will work on more advanced skills/tactics to challenge them.
Each camper will be given the opportunity to learn and practice dribbling, passing (long and short), heading (age appropriate), shooting and defending in a group of his/her ability level. These skills and tactics will be further developed each day as campers will play in small sided games where a lot of touches of the ball
is required. Fun is also required!
Each day the older campers will be taught individual moves to beat defenders. By the end of the week your soccer player should have more confidence with the ball at his feet and have a supply of moves to choose from. We are looking forward to working with your child!
