Youth Session (Ages 6-14)
June 18-21, 2011; 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This camp is for young soccer players looking to develop and improve technical skills and abilities. Attacking and individual concepts will be the main focus, but defensive concepts will be covered as well. There will also be instruction covering the goalkeeper position. Basic dribbling, passing and shooting skills will be highlighted.
This camp will also suit players who are looking to develop their skills and get instruction from college - level coaches. Fitness and conditioning will be a highlight through the use of competitive play in small-sided and full-sided games. This session will have live game play and will be beneficial to both field players and goalkeepers.
What to Expect from our Camp
Each camper will receive instruction from the Lakeland College coaching staff in attacking/defensive concepts, goalkeeping, fitness/conditioning and nutrition. In addition, campers will receive a T-shirt and personal evaluation by a staff member.
Location
The camp will be held on the campus of Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Equipment
Each camper is responsible for bringing their own cleats, shin guards (mandatory), socks, shorts, shirts, ball and water bottle. In case of inclement water, campers should bring noncleat tennis shoes as we will hold the camp inside.
Meals
Lunch will be provided for the campers.
Insurance
Each camper must have their own medical insurance. The Lakeland College Soccer Camp will not be responsible for any medical or dental insurance. A medical release statement must be signed by a parent or guardian before a camper is allowed to participate in the Lakeland College Soccer Camp. Each camper's health and protection will be our first and foremost concern, however, as with all sports there are dangers inherent in participating. An athletic trainer will be present during camp sessions.

The Lakeland College One Day Prospect Camp is a great way for rising juniors and seniors to experience the atmosphere and demands of playing college soccer.
On the field, the Lakeland College women's coaching staff will lead players through two dynamic training sessions. These sessions are designed to mirror the training methods of our current team here at Lakeland College. The importance of technical training in a tactical environment will be emphasized in both training sessions.
Off the field, several activities will occur to prepare you and your family with helpful information regarding your college decision-making process. Our admissions department will cover the application process, provide a brief overview of financial aid and review the college curriculum. A college panel consisting of the Lakeland coaching staff and a few current players will be on hand to discuss the recruiting process and life as a student-athlete. Afterward, a campus tour will be provided.
We understand the importance of choosing a college that best suits your needs. That is why we encourage the parents of the participating camper to attend. Our main goal is to prepare everyone with all the necessary tools to make an informed decision that is best for them.
