2. It’s mandatory for all players to wear shin guards and closed-toe athletic shoes or cleats; bring enough water/drink and snacks for all kids. Due to allergy concerns, we do not allow kids to share drinks and snacks/food. Please remind us if your child has any allergies during sign-up. Sunscreen is recommended.

All players must be signed up prior to attending camp. The latest rosters will be printed on the morning of the camp. Players signed for just a few days can choose whichever day works for them to attend. You can also upgrade to do more days by paying the difference. Let the camp Site Leader know if you want to add day(s).

Camp Structure:

Players are placed in groups based on their age and skill level. Each group has 6-10 players. Kids 4-5 years play soccer from 9-11:00 am. Their snack break is 11:00-11:30 am. They then have supervised activities, like playing at the play structures or coloring until 1 pm. Any 4-5 year old who opts to play soccer will be allowed to, but it has to be THEIR decision. We do not want kids to hate soccer because we push them to play longer than necessary considering their age. We would rather a kid loves soccer and plays for the rest of their life instead of forcing them to play 90 more minutes which would make them hate it and maybe never play it again.
For kids over 6, 9 am – 11 am is spent on warm-up, review of previous day lesson, agility for soccer-specific movement, speed and coordination, followed by the lesson of the day. We focus on different skills each day, for example dribbling, fakes and moves, passing, shooting, shielding, and defending. The coaches will make sure each kid gets one on one attention and is helped to learn the skills. We use fun games to reinforce the skills, to ensure kids can apply them in real soccer situations. 11-11:30 is snack break.

After snack break, for kids over 6, we do 1 on 1 games until about 12:00. For older kids especially, we also do 2 on 1 and 2 on 2 games. We finish the morning soccer session with scrimmages/matches. Unless we do not have more than 8 kids per age-group, all age-levels are broken down further by age, size, and ability so that each kid plays with and among kids their size and level. Water- breaks are provided intermittently throughout the session, depending on the intensity of the exercises and the weather.

Safety:
It is important that parents co-operate with the laid down sign-in and sign-out procedure, and our coaches will insist on it at ALL times. We will have the kids in line and parents have to come to their kid and sign them out. We will not let them come to you, that way we are 100% sure who is picking up. We really appreciate your help, parents, for your continued cooperation has made Coach Ken Soccer a safe place for kids for the past 10 years.
We have at least one coach for every 10 kids; this is to ensure kids get ample attention from our experienced coaches. Every camp will mostly have at least 1 male and 1 female coach, and a same-gender coach will generally take the kids to bathroom breaks. Coaches ensure there is nobody else in the bathroom before any kid goes in. They (coaches) wait outside the door. All our coaches have been fingerprinted and cleared to work with kids.
