Camp Directory

As a service to the local soccer community, Rocky Mountain Soccer presents the “Rocky Mountain Soccer Summer Camps Directory”.

Have fun playing soccer this summer!

Advice for a successful summer camp:

1)  Find the right camp for you. Not all camps are the same. A good camp has a safe environment, good facilities, low coach to player ratios, and lots of inflated soccer balls. And of course the 3 “L’s” of coaching: No lines, No lectures and No laps. Every camp should have a clear camp philosophy.

2)  “Hydrate!” Get a big water container and drink it. All day camps should have a place to refill water containers.

3)  Bring a snack. 3 hours of exercise is to long to go without added calories.

4)  Sunscreen

5)  Shinguards

6)  Arrive on time

7)  Be sure the coaches on site have the parent’s/guardian’s cell phone number

8)  Ask if the coaches on site have current CPR/First Aid training and a “in case of emergency plan”.

9)  Make new friends

10) You get out of camp what you put into it. Be positive and ready to play.
