*There will be no camp during Winter Break (12/19 - 1/1) and MLK Day (1/16). For most weeks, sessions will be split into three parts: small sided games (1v1, 2v1, 2v2, etc.), camp games (games to engage the players in the day's topic) and age appropriate larger side games. To engage all players from the start of camp we will begin with the basics of attacking and defending and build from there, spending two sessions, or one week, on a topic before moving on to the next.
