♦ Camp Overview: Gaston United Soccer Club joins forces with Belmont Abbey College to provide a comprehensive soccer experience for kids ages U6 to U16 -- June 25-29. The camp, to be held at Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, will offer a Morning Strikers Session (for players U9 to U16) and an Evening FUN-damentals Session (U6 to U13). Morning Strikers will offer SIX shooting stations and TWO shooting labs that will also include FOUR outright, fun-til-you-drop shooting stations where kids can bang away on goals in real-game set ups. "The focus will be on ball-striking through a series of go-to-goal drills," said Keating, a native of South Africa who was previously the Director of Coaching at the Omaha Nebraska Football Club where he oversaw 3,000 kids.
The Evening FUN-damentals Camp (U6 to U13) will also provide SIX stations and TWO game stations where kids can play small-sided games and participate in FOUR skill stations focusing on ball control, turning with the ball, shooting, passing and receiving. "We’ll focus on fast foot work--dribbling, 1 v 1 skills and small-team games," Keating said.
♦ Areas of Emphasis: breakaways, corners, dribbling, volley, crosses, goalmouth scrambles, free kicks, heading, shooting,
ball control, passing, receiving, turning & more!
