December

The first annual Thanksgiving Camp at Next Soccer Park was a success! We were thrilled to have 12 players who showed up and showed off on November 24, 25, and 26 (when they could have been sleeping in)! Their soccer experience ranged from beginner to club level, yet they had a shared dedication to the game. Strangers became friends. Siblings became teammates.  Amid sunshine and crisp fall air, the energy was incredible. Coached by Christian, Jake, and Juan, the athletes did warm-ups, drills, and scrimmages with curiosity and commitment on the turf. Boys and girls built dribbling, passing, shooting, and defending skills. They were locked in!  Special instructors included competitive athletes who led a brief strength-and-conditioning session. Were our campers sore the next day? And the days after that? You bet! Their hard work and communal fun were evident in many ways. As we mentioned in our previous blog, time off from school doesn’t have to mean time cooped up at home.  Our Thanksgiving Camp was the perfect segue to holiday time with family. Thank you to the parents and campers who made history with us! Stay tuned for details on our next camp! Follow us at https://www.instagram.com/nextsoccerpark/
