World Wide Soccer

Full Day Camps are available for 7-16 year old players of all levels of experience and ability. Camps usually run for a week, Mon to Fri 9am-4pm but some can be ‘splits’ – 9am-12pm & 5:30-8:30pm, giving players that afternoon break from the sun. All players attending receive a free World Wide Soccer camp t-shirt and soccer ball.

Our Full Day curriculum has been developed over many years of coaching camps and clubs, both in the USA and Overseas. We have the individual player in mind when we plan our daily training sessions and aim for the entire camp to be an enjoyable and educational experience for them.

A typical camp day will be split into a morning and afternoon session. Each session will be based on a tactical and technical theme, differing each day, which we coach the players through. World Wide Soccer believes in the ‘team game’ and our emphasis on all technical skills and tactical elements through SSG (small-sided games) allows us to build this ethic – ‘how can my individual skills and ability help our team?’. The 3 hour morning and afternoon sessions over 5 days allows for our coaches to cover a wide range of game areas and players can expect to come away from camp having taken on experience of many new ideas and skills to improve their game.

The player’s favorite part of our camps is easily the World Wide Soccer World Cup. On the first day of camp players are placed in teams of mixed age and ability and they are given a country to represent. They will then enter a week-long World Cup tournament and play matches against all other teams on camp. Points are awarded to teams for wins, goals scored, examples of great skill and sportsmanship.

Whichever team accumulates the most points will play in the World Cup final on Friday. The two teams compete for medals and it is always a colorful event! We assign homework over the week such as learn about the country you represent, paint your face in your nation’s colors and bring in your nations flag! Pictures of 2010 World Cup teams can be seen here.

Half Day Camps are a shorter version of the full day camp – these usually run 9am-12pm or 5:30-8:30pm. All players attending a Half Day camp receive free World Wide Soccer camp t-shirt and soccer ball. Players will benefit from the skill development sessions we use in our Full Day curriculum and it incorporates the same ‘team game’ coaching philosophy. We do also run the World Wide Soccer World Cup and players get to compete in the week long scrimmage tournament as they play against other countries to help their team reach the World Cup Final! Half Day camps can be scheduled alone or as a choice on a Full Day Camp schedule. Mini Kickers Camp will always be included with the Full & Half Day Camps.
