Champions Soccer is designed to best utilize the unprecedented time we are living in due to the global pandemic. The camp will focus on technical development of players based on an innovative technical training program which will really challenge players. The program will greatly benefit and improve the players ability for execution in the following areas

• Passing, control/touch
• First time passing
• Turning with the ball, quarter turns, half turns, full turns and  pivots
• Heading to goal
• Heading to defend
• Flighted balls
• Finishing
• First time shots
• Curling shots
• Catching balls with instep/outside of foot
• Shooting awkward balls
• Individual defending

The program will not only give players the ability to improve in these critical areas of play it will give them the confidence to try them in game situations.

Champions Camp will also focus on the conditioning aspect of soccer. We will utilize many of the methods used by Rider men’s soccer conditioning coach Gerry Green. Gerry is well schooled in the most current methodology of soccer conditioning especially in the area of periodization.

Champions Camp will also work with small groups in the area of tactics and team culture. We will utilize Rider men’s soccer How we want to play document which is the basis of the approach we want to use for how we train our team.

IN THE EVENT OF RAIN - In the event of rain we will make a decision on postponement 45 minutes prior to the beginning of camp. The chances of postponing camp will be slim. In the event of lightning, players will be removed from the playing fields and put into shelter. Play will not resume until we have waited out the mandatory period of time from the last strike of lightning
In the event of a postponement for the evening or considerable time missed during the week, the time will be made up on Friday of camp week

IF THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIN POSTPONEMENT PLEASE CALL 609 977 5463 AND LISTEN FOR THE MESSAGE ON THE VOICEMAIL

WHAT TO BRING - Players must bring their own water. THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR HYDRATION.
Players MUST bring their own ball. Because the program that we will be instituting, a plentiful amount of soccer balls are needed. If players can bring more than one ball it will make the session go much smoother.
