2020 GOLD STAR SUMMER PROGRAMS
Due to COVID-19 Gold Star Soccer will be changing our summer curriculum. We will also be providing 1 on 1, small group training, and our home skills development program for players 5 - 23 years old. All of our 1 on 1 & small group training will adhere to all of the local and state CDC guidelines. Parents will be able to choose when, where and who will run your training program.
Gold Star Soccer Summer Camps (5 - 12 years old)
Gold Star Soccer summer camps will provide an environment where players will be challenged to strive for milestones throughout the camp. On Monday players will write their S.M.A.R.T. goal into their skills booklet. Tuesday through Friday players will write out what they will do to achieve "success" throughout the week. Players will compete for awards on Friday. There will be daily challenges at summer camp with the opportunity to earn Gold Star points that can be redeemed at the end of camp for Gold Star Soccer merchandise.
Daily challenges will include
Juggling
Carrying the ball
Total score for the Gold Star Animal skills
