Last year, my son decided he wanted to try soccer. I just happened to be contacted by British Soccer Camps, through Challenger Sports, which gave us the perfect opportunity for him to try out the sport in which he was showing interest. The camp was fantastic! They bring in a whole crew of soccer players, both guys and girls, who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic in teaching the kids new skills.
Needless to say, he loved the camp! He managed to fall in love with soccer and England all in the same week, haha! This year, he can't wait for soccer camp again!
There are several options of camps for a variety of ages.
First Kicks: ages 3-4
Mini Soccer: ages 5-6
Half Day Camp: ages 6-10
Full Day Camp: ages 6-10
Challenger Sports British Soccer Camps will host 20 different camps in the Pittsburgh region this summer! Go here to find a convenient location for you. Sign up here for Pittsburgh camps.
Shaler Soccer Club will also be hosting a special needs soccer camp! And BIG NEWS.....
MONDAY 08/08/16, WEDNESDAY 08/10/16 AND FRIDAY 08/12/16 ONLY .
The first 55 campers to register will attend for FREE due to the generosity of Shaler Soccer Club, the Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh among other community donors. To find out if you are one of the 55 campers please contact Brian Dourlain atbrian@shalersoccerclub.com or 724 407 3567.
If you register soon, your child will also receive a free soccer jersey and soccer ball! My son has been practicing with his all year long.
Another fun aspect of British Soccer Camps is that you have the option to host some of the visiting coaches during the week. They really do come from the UK, so they will need a place to stay during their week in our city. It's a fun way to expose your kids to cultures that may be a little different than ours. And don't forget those great accents! We had the pleasure of having Max and Sam stay with us for a week and my kids still talk about the fun they had with them. You will receive a stipend to cover extra expenses.
GIVEAWAY:
British Sports Camp has generously offered to give away a free week of camp to one lucky child! Winner will be able to choose one week of camp happening in either July or August. Enter at link below.

Love the blog! If i won we'd probably choose a soccer camp in Monroeville or Plum.
We'd go to any camp.
What a great opportunity for a camp! Though its worth traveling around the Pittsburgh area, I'd love to see one near Monroeville for my little nephew!
We would love the camp at the mckinney soccer complex
My daughter has shown an interest in soccer but has been too young to join our area soccer association. As a twin I think she'd like to do something on her own. Monroeville or the Sampson Y would be the closest.
