Week 1 and Week 2 Summer Soccer Camp
Youth Camp Description :
For the last 2 years both youth soccer camps have sold out in record time. Our staff, directors, and curriculum make all the difference. Level 5 Athletics sees value in a constructive learning environment that coaches ALL players at ALL levels. Our goal is to build a love for sports. Level 5’s top priority is overall player development. Our coaches invest time in your game and your skills. Level 5 staff is composed of professional and college level players/coaches who understand the game and how to get the best out of each individual. The design of each camp and clinic is focused on skill mastery. You get better through repetition, verbalization, and intensity. At Level 5, we believe athletes are developed over time and our curriculum is constantly changing and evolving to better each clinic and camp experience.

Soccer Stars Program Explained
Our kids’ soccer stars program introduces kids to the game of soccer in an enthusiastic way. Our experience uses age-appropriate games and exercises from around the globe to deliver sessions that are healthy, informative and fun.. Our team atmosphere helps develop both social and life skills, even for our youngest soccer players. Our unique method of soccer instruction helps children become familiar with athletics, to properly play the world’s most popular game early on. Our innovative, skills-based curriculum helps teach character building and development while keeping the children on their feet.
Player Development Program Explained
Ball Mastery - In these sessions players will learn to have more comfort and a better touch on the ball. Players will work on first touch, dribbling, juggling and individual ball work. They will work with the ball individually, and in group settings to ensure they are playing with and without pressure. At the end of the session, players will play in an intersquad scrimmage to test their skills.
Attacking and Finishing - These sessions are focused on attacking play and finishing. Players will focus on attacking 1v1 moves, go to goal mentality as well as the proper shooting and finishing technique. Much of the proper form comes from repetition and coaches will be correcting shooting form throughout the session. At the end of the session, players will be put in a game-like activity to enhance their attacking and finishing play.
Possession and Defending - During these sessions players will focus on the details of playing possession (passing technique, passing angles, movement off the ball) as well as some of the beginner skills of proper defending (pressure on the ball and defensive shape). There will be both tactical and technical components to this session to help players get a better feel for the individual and big picture aspects of play. The last bit of the session will allow for game play to allow players to test the things they have learned.
This Winter Clinic is not a Fallston Rec Council / Fallston Soccer sponsored event.
Winter Clinics are sponsored by Level 5 Athletics
