DC Campus Soccer Camps

At Sidwell Summer, soccer programs are lead by dedicated and professional coaches that focus both on cultivating a love of the game and enhancing technical skills. For 2013, choose from the following:

Sidwell Summer Soccer Camp K - Grade 8

Sidwell Summer Soccer Camp is designed for players of all levels in Grades K- 8.

The will be held on a turf field with access to gym space in inclement weather. The youngest campers will work with coaches and counselors to learn the fundamentals of the game- kicking, dribblings, passing, and shooting. Technical skills are the focus of the morning. For example; Mondays - dribbling, Tuesdays - passing, Wednesdays - trapping, Thursdays - shooting/heading, and Fridays - review of all skills. Professional coaches will work with the intermediate and more advanced players to develop technical skills. Campers will play small-sided scrimmages daily and a Friday Around- the- World Cup tournament closes out the fun!

Each day campers will have the option to take a break from the heat after lunch in the air-conditioned soccer ‘game room’ which has age appropriate board games and toys. Players should bring appropriate indoor and outdoor footwear (cleats/sneakers), shin guards, and a ball labeled with the camper's full name. All participants will receive a Sidwell Summer Soccer Camp t-shirt. Full day participants will have a pizza lunch on Fridays.
