Summer Soccer Camps at Huntington
The Huntington Booster Club is sponsoring two soccer camps on the fields at Huntington High School this summer. The sessions will run during separate three hour blocks from July 18-21.
A camp a co-ed camp for boys and girls entering grades 4-8 is slated for 9 a.m. to 12 noon and a second camp for boys entering grades 9-12 is slated for 1-4 p.m. The registration fee is $125.
Blue Devil head coach John Pagano will serve as program director. He will be assisted by Huntington boys' soccer coach Jason Suarez. Participants will receive a free t-shirt. In case of rain, the camp will move indoors to the high school gym.
The co-ed camp is open to players of all skill levels. Sessions will feature technical training and a small player to coach ratio. There will be various competitions during the daily program, which will include ball skills, passing and dribbling, shooting, trapping, tournaments and games.
The high school level boys' camp is entering its fourth year. "As a new season approaches, we are committed to raising the bar and continuing to strengthen our soccer programs at Huntington High School," Pagano said. "We are thrilled to offer a four-day intensive preparatory camp to precede the 2011 season. Our focus will be squarely on both tactical as well as technical training and will serve as an excellent opportunity for both new and current players to get an important head start to the season."
