2008 Summer Camps
The Bethesda Soccer Club summer camps are designed and implemented for players to have a fun and challenging curriculum with an emphasis on enhancing technical skills. An outstanding group of coaches led by the Club's Youth Developement Directors, Jonathon Colton and Ellis Pierre, have been assembled who are regionally renowned for developing top-level players. The player/coach ratio is ideal for learning and development. Individual attention and feedback will be given to each player.

There will be three day camps offered this summer. Each day a skill is taught and mastered through repetition, exhibition and smallsided play. The overnight camp is located at Deep Creek Camp in Deep Creek, Maryland. Campers are challenged with five days of intense training in a beautiful camp environment. Campers will be served all three meals and will be provided with a wide range of on-field and off-field activities. The evening camp is a great opportunity to have a team or individuals solidify their skills right before the season starts.
