In 1988, Kevin decided to share his
soccer wisdom and coaching ability
with young players entertaining
the
same dreams of soccer that Kevin
himself had as a young
boy. It was
that year that Kevin also began "SMUDGER'S
SOCCER CAMPS" on a limited enrollment basis to ensure
individual attention to each player. This tradition of
specialized individual
attention has become a trademark
of Kevin's Camps.
At the Smudger’s
Camp your player will be taught skills that directly relate
to the real world game of soccer. Skills such as controlling,
passing, heading, dribbling and defending are taught. The ability
to move to open spaces and working together towards a common
goal are emphasized in this team sport. A balance between individual
play and team play are stressed at the camp. The player is
encouraged to experiment and deploy their newly learned techniques
in small sided games after each session. This reinforces the
creativity and learning that takes place on a technique by
technique basis.
Kevin believes it is important that players not only
leave his camp with a strong knowledge of soccer and how
to incorporate their newly learned techniques into their
games, but they should also have an enjoyable memory of
their week at Smudger's Camp.
The additional staff include a number
of other professional
coaches, which
are personally hand-picked by Kevin.
This
insures that your child will not
only receive the maximum
attention possible, but the top level of coaching
that
they deserve.
