Parents struggling to find wholesome activities for their children and who want to improve their children’s soccer skills will get a chance to do so beginning next Monday at The Gary White/Bahamas Soccer Academy’s summer camp at the The College of the Bahamas soccer fields. This is the third installment of the Gary White Soccer Camp, which partners this year with the Bahamas Soccer Academy (BSA). The BSA runs year-round training for young soccer players.
The camp will train youngsters aged 5-15 — whether they’ve never kicked a soccer ball before or are already playing for their school or a local club — ﾠin 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.
As well as coach White other camp instructors include: Matthew Green, coach of the U-20ﾴs women’s national team and local Women’s League Champions FC Nassau; Larry Minns, experienced local youth coach and head coach of local men’s team Bears FC, and Deron Swaby, menﾴs national team player and a recent graduate of Bradley University where he starred on the menﾴs soccer team.
Camp is from Monday, July 24 – Friday, July 28 and features two sessions a day. Session one will run from 10am -1pm and Session two from 2pm -5pm. Application forms for the camp and information on our yearly after-school programs can be found at www.bahamassocceracademy.com. For more information, call 324-3371.
