Cougars Day Camp Overview
The Cougars day camp will be run by the 2012 SIUE Cougars coaching staff and players. This camp is designed for players ages 8-12 and will provide four full days of quality soccer instruction-the Cougar Way!
Attention will focus on combining technical training and small-sided game scenarios. Quality instruction provided on the field with coaches demonstrating each skill allows campers to view and learn proper techniques. Tactical insight from coaches will help younger players improve their decision- making skills and still allow players the creative freedom that the game requires.
Each session the coaching staff will push players to their fullest potential, challenging both beginning and experienced youth players. Campers will participate in fun activities and contests making this the “can’t miss” soccer camp of the summer.
Everyday there will be a goalkeeping session for those younger players who would like to be exposed to the internationally- acclaimed techniques of Brian Jones and the SIUE Cougar goalkeepers. Campers will work on techniques such as footwork, catching, diving, and distribution.
All campers will each receive a Nike camp T-shirt and a player practice planner to help with their individual development.
Facilities
All camp sessions will be held at Ralph Korte Stadium- (Bob Guelker Field) and the varsity practice field. The Rec Plex outdoor fields and indoor facilities will be utilized as needed on the SIUE campus. Campers will utilize the same facilities as the SIUE Men’s Soccer Team. Indoor restrooms and shelter from inclement weather are available in the stadium.
Lunch and Snacks
Campers should pack their lunches every day. Beverages will be provided at lunchtime and afternoon snacks will be given to the campers. Water will be available at every session to keep the campers properly hydrated.
