2013 Chelsea Soccer School Information
June 2nd -6th, 2013 5:30-8:30 pm. Camp registration will begin 4:30 - 5pm on Sunday June 2nd
Cedar Lane Regional Park: 1100 Cedar Lane, Bel Air, MD 21015
Players should be prepared for a very challenging week of soccer instruction. Campers will be motivated to increase their work rate and speed of play while being encouraged to express themselves through creative play on the field. This week long soccer experience is designed to be different than most. Certainly, players will have fun participating in this camp. Learning in a competitive environment, however, is at the core and it’ll take a commitment from each camper to be ready for challenge each day.
Campers need to prepare for an evening of activity: guards, change of gear (especially socks), plenty of water, light snack, sunscreen, spikes, tennis or running shoes. Concessions available with healthy choices on the menu. Water will be provided but each camper should bring a refillable sports bottle.
Some of the very best youth players/ teams in the State, Region and Country have already committed to participating in the Chelsea Soccer School and will attend at Cedar Lane. No matter your child’s age, they’ll be grouped with some of the very best at that particular age making for a quality level of training and an optimal environment for teaching/learning.
