British Soccer Camp going to Franklinton

The Franklinton Youth Soccer Association has teamed up with Challenger Sports to bring the most popular soccer camp in the country to our community at Franklinton Youth Soccer Association Fields from July 16-20.

With programs for all ages and abilities, local players have an opportunity to share a fun, positive and educational camp experience centered around a daily regimen of foot skills, moves, juggling, tactical practices and daily tournament play by one of Challenger’s 1,100 International soccer coaches who inspire confidence, happiness and help build self-esteem.

The highlight of the week is the Camp World Cup, adding friendly competition and cultural variety to each day. The daily tournament gives campers the chance to represent a world cup team, with extra points being awarded for making up chants, wearing team colors of their chosen country, creating flags, and learning as much as they can about their chosen country’s culture.

New for 2018 is the iCHALLENGE digital learning app.

Extending their camp experience year-round, every camper receives access to iCHALLENGE — a sophisticated new digital learning app along with a library of soccer skills and exercises to practice at home. Campers view and practice the skills linked to their ability level, upload a video displaying their chosen skills, receive personalized online coaching from experienced virtual coaches and even score points for videos and compete in league tables with other players around the world.

Parents are encouraged to sign up online in advance. Space is limited. To register and for more information, including a schedule of Abita Springs’ days and times, go to www.challengersports.com or contact Nick Rundell at 469-713-2737 or email nrundell@challengersports.com.
