Striker and Goalkeeping Camps (Grades 5th-12)
Instructors: Coaches Bryon and Caleb Richards from Arete High School and Middle School Soccer Teams
Camp Dates: June 11 – June 27
Time: 7-830 PM Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday every week - 9 total sessions
Cost: $100 per player
Coach Bryon has over 25 years coaching experience with certification through USSOCCER for both coaching and refereeing. Has coached five years at Arete Prep (and 1 at Mesa Prep) both Varsity and Middle School and has helped in training during previous camps held at Arete as well as assisting in individual skills development and goalkeeping sessions across the valley.
Coach Caleb has coached for the last 3 years at Arete for both Varsity and Middle School. Caleb attended Benedictine and played soccer on the team after graduating from Arete Prep in 2021. Caleb has also assisted in training at previous camps held at Arete as well as running individual skill sessions for club players in the East Valley.
***These will be two separate camps run concurrently ***
Goalkeeping Camp: The goalkeeping camp will focus on improving overall goalkeeping skills such as Speed of Movement, Communication, Blocking/ Deflecting Techniques, Playing with Feet, Positioning/ Anticipating Play and other goalkeeping basics.
Strikers Camp: Even though this will be striker focused camp, these skills are beneficial for any attacking player on the field. Because most training now is usually focused solely on building up the play and team involvement, the art of finishing shots is not always a focus. This camp will concentrate on the core skills that all players need in the attack such as First Touch, Link-up/Hold-up Play, Spatial Awareness, Confidence in Front of Goal and of course Finishing Shots.
Again, although these are separate camps they will be held on same field and will interact to ensure strikers and goalkeepers are able to get plenty of real shots in to put in practice what is being trained.
Chargers in Training Indoor Soccer (Futsal) Camp- Coed Grades 3-5
Instructor: Todd Conklin- Arete Prep AD, USSF "C" License
Dates: 7/1-7/3
Cost: $40
Times: Mon/Tues/Wed 9:00-11:00am
Location: Arete Prep Gymnasium
Players of all levels are welcome! Come learn and experience the fast paced, exciting game of Futsal- indoor soccer played with boundaries and a weighted ball. Players will take part in skill based warm ups and activities, and camp will involve plenty of 5 v 5 play! Indoor Soccer with a weighted ball.
Why Futsal? According to a Liverpool study, Futsal players touch the ball 6 times more often- per Minute! The smaller, heavier ball demands and rewards more precise handling. Sharp passing is paramount: The game is all about looking for angles and spaces and working quick combinations with other players. Ball control and vision are crucial, so that when futsal players play the full size game, they feel as though they have acres of free space in which to operate. “No time + No space = BETTER SKILLS.”
