ABOUT CORE SUMMER CAMPS
For 20 years, former Professional Player and Coach Jamie Swanner and his staff have been serving the metropolitan St. Louis area with First Touch/CORE Soccer Training Camps & Clinics. This will be the 21st year that CORE Soccer Training will be offering their Summer Soccer Camp Series. These Camps are designed to help improve the player’s technical skills. We do all of this using multiple technical grids. These grids contain a different technical skill for the player to learn, understand and develop throughout the week. Each day we will introduce many games related to these technical skills. Coaches and Parents are encouraged to attend not only to watch their children, but to observe and take note of the drills we use to help further assist in player development. We pride ourselves in being organized and having top quality instructors with the most up to date coaching knowledge. Our main focus in ALL of our Programs is to assist in the overall development of the Player, Parent and Coach.
CORE Soccer will be offering three different types of Camps this Summer (Field Player, Goalkeeper and a Finishing & GK Camp), for ages of 6-12 yrs. Plus, CORE will offer three additional ADVANCED Camps (ADVANCED Field Player, ADVANCED Goalkeeper and ADVANCED Finishing & Goalkeeper Camp) for ages 13-18 yrs. All regular Camps will run four days, approximately – one hour per day. All ADVANCED Camps will run four days, approximately – one and a half hours per day. Our CORE Summer Camp Series will be offered at different locations, times and dates throughout the St' Louis metropolitan area. (ALL Players will be divided into groups based on, age and skill level. Some Camps may be Combined or Cancelled due to participation) Our Camps fill quickly, so register soon! All participants will receive a FREE CORE Camp t-shirt with their registration.
NOTE: We highly suggest that players of the ages 4 & 5 participate in our CORE First Touch & Ball Skills programs first. See CORE First Touch & Ball Skills
Field Player ONLY & Goalkeeper ONLY Camps: $95 (AGES 6-12) ADVANCED Field player ONLY & ADVANCED goalkeeper only Camps: $125 (ages 13-18)
Our Camps are designed to help improve the player’s technical skills while having fun. CORE is truly the next evolution of Soccer Camps with their series of “Technical Training Grids”. During the week these Grids help our staff evaluate progress of player development. Each grid contains a different technical skill for the player to learn, understand and develop throughout the week. Each day we will introduce many challenging and exciting games related to these technical skills. We pride ourselves in being extremely organized and having top quality instructors with the most up to date coaching knowledge that enjoy teaching while having FUN with our Campers. Coaches and Parents are encouraged to attend each training session not only to watch these kids play and have fun, but to observe and take note of the drills and games they enjoy the most. “When you, as a Parent or Coach extend these fun activities outside the Camp structure to the home environment, you will be amazed what this additional training will do for the Player’s technical development."
Finishing & Goalkeeper Camp: $105 (AGES 6-12) ADVANCED FINISHING & GOALKEEPER CAMP: $125 (AGES 13-18)
This camp program is designed to develop the Finishing abilities of our Field players while giving our Goalkeepers the opportunity to deal with shots that are realistic to their position. We will divide each group up for the first 20-25 minutes of each session to focus on the technical skill of the day. Then combine both groups for challenging/competition like games that will help them advance their awareness of real game like situations. For the ADVANCED Camp, we will extend the time to 45 minutes before we combine the groups.
