This camp was a huge success last year - and at a great price!!!

1. Fun is pivotal - if it’s not fun, the children will not want to play.
2. Skill development is a crucial aspect of fun - it is more important than winning, even among the best athletes.
3. The most rewarding challenges of sports are those that lead to self-knowledge.
4. Intrinsic rewards (self-knowledge that grows out of self-competition) are more important in creating lifetime athletes than are extrinsic rewards (victory or attention from others).

***During childhood allow the kids to have a good time playing the game while instilling the passion to love playing soccer on their own. Only a passion for the game can lead to success.

***Success is something players take ownership of and in time it becomes personally meaningful. Success is a process, not a product. The process of doing one’s best is the key to success.

***The determining criterion of success is whether a player gave his or her best that day. Doing one’s best is the most important statement a player can make about the importance of an activity and the meaning it has.

***With years of experience comes self-knowledge and self-awareness. So players learn over time what it means to do your best, to give 100%.
