Boys and girls who want to improve their soccer skills will get a chance to do so beginning next Monday at The Bahamas Soccer Academy’s first summer camp at the St. Paul’s Field, Lyford Cay.
The camp will train youngsters aged 6-16 — whether they’ve never kicked a soccer ball before or are already at a club and dream of being the next David Beckham — in the fundamentals of the fastest growing sport in The Bahamas. In a safe and fun-filled environment, children will receive expert guidance in the four areas that form the game’s foundation — technical, tactical, physical and mental — and learn the discipline needed to be a successful soccer player at any level.
The camp is a shorter version of The Bahamas Soccer Academy’s weekly after-school program, which recently finished its first term. Thirty-five students learned basic and intermediate soccer skills from certified local coaches. The academy hopes to eventually award sponsored scholarships to deserving youngsters who are unable to pay the fees but show potential in the sport. ﾠThe academy’s second after-school program begins in September.
The camp will run from 10am-1pm Monday, July 25-Friday, July 29 and costs $115. Application forms for both the camp and the after-school program can be found at www.bahamassocceracademy.com. For more information, call 324-3371.
