Welcome to the South Meadow Soccer School
The 2010 South Meadow Soccer School is a fund-raising activity that supports SMS and is designed for students ages 6-15, with a special half-day program for beginners ages 6-8.
The soccer camp will offer small-sided, enclosed soccer arenas. Each arena will facilitate a 4 vs. 4 continuous soccer game played without goalkeepers. These games will encourage fast-flowing play, with an emphasis on decision making, depth, width, vision, technical ability, movement, fitness and composure. The 20 minute game is non-stop: when a ball leaves the arena a new one is tossed in from mid-field. Your child’s skills and technique will improve dramatically.
Over the course of the camp, emphasis will be put on individual techniques, functions of positions, and team tactics. To assess each player's strengths and areas of improvement, the camps will offer small-sided, enclosed soccer arenas. Each arena will facilitate a 4-on-4 soccer game played without goalkeepers. This setup allows us, as coaches, to concentrate on each player individually and to give personalized feedback. These games tend to encourage fast-flowing play, with an emphasis on decision-making, depth, width, vision, technical ability, movement, fitness and composure.
All participating goalkeeping students will have specialized technical training in the morning and functional tactical training in the afternoon. Goalkeepers will be trained in all aspects of goalkeeping. They will participate in all team-oriented games. The age of each goalkeeper will be considered in each session.
My mission as director of this soccer camp is to make your child a better soccer player through individual attention, focused skills training, and hard work, all in an enjoyable learning environment. I truly look forward to having your child experience our South Meadow Soccer School.
Tod Silegy, Director
