The British are coming to Winnemucca

AYSO to host week-long soccer camp

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -As the number of soccer players in the USA nears 20 million, the number one soccer company in the United States & Canada, Challenger Sports, has been invited to hold one of their highly regarded "British Soccer Camps" right here in the growing soccer community of Winnemucca.

AYSO 546 Winnemucca has teamed up to host the week-long "British Soccer Camp" during the week of July 29 - Aug. 2 at French Ford Middle School, 5495 E. Palisade Drive.

The camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger's team of 1,100 British soccer coaches flown to the USA exclusively to work on these programs.

Challenger Sports will hold over 3,500 soccer camps this summer and will coach over 130,000 players between the ages of 3 and 19.

Challenger's new 1,000 touches coaching syllabus provides an innovative daily regimen of foot-skills, moves, juggling, tactical practices and daily tournament play. Challenger also weaves lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship into the camper's daily routine.

The British Soccer Camp program also provides a unique cultural experience for the players, highlighted in the Camp World Cup. The coaches use this daily tournament to teach the players about life, customs and traditions of other countries. The campers are asked to make up soccer chants, wear the team colors of their country, bring flags and learn as much as they can about the country they represent.
