About the Camp
Penn State Soccer Day Camp is designed to provide girls in kindergarten through eighth grade next fall with the opportunity to focus on fundamental technical instruction in a relaxed learning environment. This weeklong camp features small-side games and an excellent coach-to-camper ratio. Campers receive a soccer ball and a camp shirt. The day camp runs from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
The Penn State Instructional Soccer Camp is designed to help players learn how to enjoy soccer, enhance techniques, and improve skills. Demonstrations and round-robin tournaments feature proper soccer methods and enable participants to practice what they learn. Sessions focus on teamwork, preseason training, and special team tactics and strategies. An additional area of concentration is the development of positional skills and tactical training through functional practices designed to improve positional awareness and understanding. Goalkeepers receive separate, specialized coaching as well as game analysis from experienced instructors. To ensure quality playing time, a maximum of ten goalkeepers will be permitted to enroll.
The Penn State Soccer Team Camp is designed to provide varsity high school and/or club teams with the opportunity to train and compete together under the direction and guidance of college and Olympic Development Program coaches. Each team will have tactical training sessions, technical pressure training, and match competition daily. Teams must send a minimum of sixteen and a maximum of twenty-two players to the camp. A team will not be officially enrolled without a minimum of sixteen players.
Equipment—Regardless of the camp, players should bring the necessary practice gear, including soccer flats and rain suits. Shin guards are required for all matches.
Recreation—During camp, participants may spend their free time enjoying Penn State's many recreational facilities, including the outdoor swimming pool.
