Fun-Focused

Fun at STP Soccer means lots of smiles and gaining a sense of accomplishment while being active and socially engaged with other youth. We set the scene for fun at STP Soccer by choosing the best location for the camp. Ingredients for a fun STP Soccer camp or program include:

  • Staff that maximize the “fun factor” for every camper on the field/court
  • A good match between child and camp
  • Information for parents about what to bring, when the camp starts, etc.
  • A focus on the safety and well being of our campers at all times
  • A choice of two types of camps: those based on skill or our NEW recreation-focused camps
  • Our unique on-field progression

Skills-Focusd

Since the inception of STP Soccer, our purpose has been to teach life skills through sports. Skill development is the driving force behind what we do. Over the last 7 years, we’ve perfected our progression throughout each day and week of camp to maximize skill development. Our progression is outlined below:

  • Warm-up games and drills that focus on stretching
  • A new “skill of the day” each day of camp
  • Games that reinforce skills learned
  • Periodic breaks throughout the day to ensure safety, keep youth fresh, and encourage group bonding and friendship development
  • End-of-day review of skills learned and games played
  • A tournament at the end of each camp to showcase skills learned

Life-Lessons

Regardless of where your child goes with sports, your ultimate goal is to have him or her be a happy, functional, contributing individual. That’s why we take our responsibility with your child so seriously. We definitely want your child to have a good time and improve in his or her sport of choice. Even more, we want your child to succeed in life. That’s why:

  • Our staff is selected carefully and with an eye on character.
  • Good sportsmanship is emphasized repeatedly.
  • Maintaining a positive attitude is a primary focus.
  • Life skills such as choosing how to think about things, treating others well, and being persistent are highlighted.
