The Boys and Girls Soccer Camp has grown steadily for 25 years to become one of the finest instructional day camps in New England for all levels and ages. In 2010, we will continue to offer diversified training and instruction to meet the needs of each camper, from beginner to advanced. Our staff features quality Boston-area instructors who come from the professional, college, club, and high school ranks, and are proven in their ability to teach, motivate, and communicate with youth players.
It is our goal to ensure that every camper has an enjoyable, positive experience that stresses fundamentals, teamwork, and fair play. We believe soccer is a great game for all ages and abilities. We strive to improve skills, knowledge of the game, and confidence in all players.
What to Bring
Campers for all camps should dress so that you will be ready to participate actively in games and skill building activities. We recommend wearing shorts and a t-shirt or sweatshirt, depending on the weather. Your child's footwear should provide good lateral support and be appropriate for the sport in which he or she is signed up. Also add in a pair of flip-flops or sneakers for the lunch break. In addition, you should bring an athletic bag with sun block, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes for the afternoon session, and jacket in case of rain. Finally, be sure to clearly label all items.
