Camp Overview
The Nelson SMU Girls Soccer Full Day Camp is geared towards girls age 8 to 13 (2nd-8th grade as of Fall of Camp Year). It will be held Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The Full Day Camp offers instruction to players of all levels. Players will be placed into groups according to their age and skill level. They will receive both individual and group instruction. Special attention will be placed on technique and skill development. The staff for the Full Day Camp will strive to create a fun and safe environment, while teaching the skills necessary help your camper develop their game.
GoalKeepers: Specialized goalkeeper training is offered at the Full Day camp. Campers will have the option to attend morning goalkeeper sessions that will focus on technical skill development. In the afternoon, campers will get to put their goalkeeper skills to the test in daily scrimmage matches. If your camper is unsure about playing goalkeeper, or is developing both as a field player and a goalkeeper, then they will have the option to participate on both field player and goalkeeper sessions. The following goalkeeper topics will be covered over the course of the week: footwork & basic handling, shot stopping with emphasis on diving, dealing with high balls and crosses, and distribution.
Our Full Day Camps are located on our beautiful SMU Campus. Camper check in and pick up is located in the Northeast concourse of Ford Stadium (5800 Ownby Drive). Camps will be conducted on both the Washburn Stadium Field and Pettus Practice Field. In the event of inclement weather, we will access our state of the art Indoor Performance Center, located directly to the west of Washburn Stadium. More detailed information regarding location, parking, and the camper check in and drop off process will be sent shortly before each camp session begins.
