Summer Skills Academy I & II / July 23 (Tues.) & July 25 (Thurs.) / Pre-K – 8th Grade / $40
The Skills Academy will serve as an opportunity for youth soccer players to learn and improve their fundamental soccer skills and ball mastery. Skills Academy is designed for boys and girls of all skill levels, from Pre-K to 4th grade (5 p.m.-6:30 p.m.) and 5th grade to 8th grade (7-8:30 p.m.). Players will be divided into groups and receive age-appropriate individual instructions from Illinois State soccer staff and current student-athletes. Activities and exercises will cover topics such as: passing, receiving, first touch, 1v1 attacking and defending, juggling, dribbling, cutting, turning, moves, feints and other ball mastery skills. Small-sided games will be used in moderation as the emphasis is on individual skill. The cost to attend is $40 with an optional additional $10 t-shirt fee for those interested (t-shirt NOT included in $40 cost). Extra t-shirts will NOT be sold at camp.
