Challenger Sports, the number one youth soccer company in the U.S. will hold one of their nationwide British soccer training camps right here in Fort Detrick.

Child and Youth Services has teamed up to host the weeklong British soccer camp August 18-22.

The British soccer camp provides players ages 5-14 with an opportunity to receive high-level soccer coaching from a team of international experts.

Each day of camp includes: individual foot skills, technical drills, tactical practices, small-sided games, coached scrimmages and a daily tournament.

The Challenger coaching staff will provide each child with lessons in respect, integrity, responsibility, sportsmanship and leadership.

During camp, children will practice and master new individual skills and understand small group and team tactics. Campers will also scrimmage each day in the always popular Camp World Cup.

Registration ends Aug. 8.

For more information, call the Youth Services at (301) 619-2538.
