Men's Soccer to Host Two Summer Camps
5.11.12
Penn State Altoona men's soccer head coach Patrick "Moe" Taylor is hosting two summer camps this June on campus.
First is the Penn State Altoona Soccer Day Camp. This session is open to kids from ages 5-15. It will be held on June 18-22 from 9:00 AM to 12 noon each day. Participants will learn various techniques of the game through drills and examples, including ball control, trapping, kicking, heading, and passing. Emphasis will be placed on understanding soccer rules, terminology, and ability to correct errors. This camp costs $99 per participant.
The second camp is the Penn State Altoona Residential Soccer Camp. This camp is held from June 26-28 and is open to boys in grade 10 and above. It offers high school students a fun and exciting way to build and enhance their skills. The camp is aimed at experienced soccer players interested in continuing their soccer career beyond high school. The campers will receive professional advice from collegiate-level coaches.
This three-day, overnight training camp will help the participants improve their abilities and fitness levels for the upcoming soccer season. The campers will experience sessions similar to those of preseason men's soccer at Penn State Altoona. In the evenings, they will play short and full-sided games under the lights at Penn State Altoona's Spring Run Stadium.
Check-in for this camp is on June 26 from 1:00 PM-2:00 PM, and check-out occurs on June 28 at 6:00 PM. The participation fee is $199, which includes food, air conditioned housing, and a camp t-shirt.
