Camp Description
This camp is designed to prepare high school and club teams and individual players for the upcoming season. HSA staff coaches, which include college coaches from around the country, will work personally with each visiting coach to implement tactics that highlight team strengths. WKU players will serve as assistant coaches, group leaders, and mentors. Campers will improve field awareness through a series of instructional sessions designed to develop skills, as well as a better understanding of the game. Goalkeepers will receive individual instruction from our qualified goalkeeper staff. Each team will compete in a championship tournament, and independent campers will join an appropriate team based on age and ability. Additional activities may include sessions on team-building, leadership, strength & conditioning, injury prevention, nutrition, game tactics, and panels about college life. This camp is open to participants in 6th to 12th grade.
