Sports Academy: Soccer
The Sports Academy – Soccer Camp is a day camp where young players from K-8 will develop their skill and understanding of the beautiful game. This camp will divide appropriate groups related to age and/or ability. The week of soccer-specific games and activities will develop passing, dribbling, shooting, field spacing, defending, and goaltending. The camp will be run by The Haverford school soccer coaches and a collection of collegiate soccer players who played for The Haverford school.
Most importantly, we will maintain a supportive environment that is safe, fun, and exciting. The emphasis on positive coaching reflects the values of The Haverford School soccer program. We believe in the pursuit of individual excellence, but also believe in teaching about team culture and helping players to learn what it means to be a good teammate and competitor.
We look forward to working with the next generation of Philadelphia soccer talent.
