The Pee-Wee camp is for 4 and 5 year olds designed to
introduce the young player to the fundamentals of soccer.
Coaches,
assistant coaches, or involved parents are encouraged to go out
and watch the UK Soccer Coaches as much as possible to observe their
coaching techniques. Observing the UK Soccer staff in action
will offer great ideas that can be very helpful in practices.
Attending the Adult Player's camp is another way to gain a better
understanding of the game and thus increase your level of coaching.
