Half Day Camp (9 a.m.-Noon): Campers will start with a fun group warm-up and will then break-up into smaller groups based on age and skill level. Each group will go through 4 stations highlighting different technical skill areas. Skills addressed include: passing, receiving, dribbling, heading, shooting, individual defending, individual attacking, slide tackling, long passes, speed, agility and more. Groups will then compete in small-sided games and scrimmages, ending the week with a competitive 4v4 tournament.

Skills addressed include shooting, heading, receiving, and driving the ball. Each day will end with a competitive game to put your improved skills to the test!

All campers receive a T-shirt, ticket to a Red Stars home game, and chances to win other prizes and giveaways.
