2011 Cougar Soccer Camps are BIG success!

Mid July in the Midwest brings two things to the SIUE campus: summer soccer camps and HEAT! But the heat didn't stop us from having a great time at both of our camps this past week. The Advanced Training Camp ran from Friday, August 8th to Sunday, August 10th and we had the opportunity to train 74 girls, ages 13-18. The following three days, Monday, August 11th through Wednesday, August 13th was our Junior Cougar Camp. We taught basic soccer skills and played fun, skill building games with 23 boys and girls, ages 6-12. The heat advisories were cause for many more water breaks than normal but we managed to stay cool and enjoy the time getting to know and train many kids from local communities. The Advanced Training Camp especially gives us a chance to evaluate the talent in the area and training our Junior Cougars gives us a bright future to look forward to!
