Soccer Skills—Grades K–8

2016 Camp Dates TBA

Michigan Tech’s Soccer Skills Camp is designed to teach fundamental playing skills to younger players. The program stresses technique, decision-making, and confidence, and students will learn one-on-one from top coaches and varsity team players. The environment on Sherman Field is fun and supportive, but players should bring their A-games—scrimmages are competitive to ensure that all players are challenged. View camper information.
