Wanting to both give back to the surrounding community and help train the next generation of soccer players, the Syracuse University men’s soccer team is pleased to offer a spring break soccer camp for area children.
The half-day camp is open to boys and girls ages 5 to 13 and will occur at the SU Soccer Stadium April 22-26 from 9 a.m. to noon daily. Players of all experience levels will learn from head coach Ian McIntyre, associate head coach Jukka Masalin, assistant head coach Carter Lincoln and current members of the team through instructions and guidance to the campers.
The Syracuse men’s soccer spring break camp runs April 22-26 on campus.
Featuring activities, skills, drills and games based on the fundamentals of soccer—dribbling, passing, shooting and learning to compete on the field—Lincoln says the camp’s goal is to teach those fundamentals through entertaining activities and exercises.
“Fun is the priority. We want to inspire young soccer players and instill a passion for the game. Through soccer, children can learn the importance of hard work, teamwork and dedication to becoming the best versions of themselves,” Lincoln says. “We also want to strengthen our relationship with the Syracuse community, which is the biggest supporter of our program. These camps strengthen those community ties and allow campers and their families a chance to get to know our staff and student-athletes better.”
The camp costs $200 per child. For information or to register, visit www.susoccercamps.com or send an email to susoccercamps@gmail.com.
