This will be our 2nd summer of offering a Defenders-specific soccer camp program. We had a very successful first summer of offering the Defenders camp and hope that we will continue to improve on the curriculum and attendance at this summer’s Defenders camp. The premise of the camp is to present players with technical training specific to play in the defensive third of the field and to teach tactical concepts specific to the defending in all three zones of the field.
Players will receive instruction in the techniques of tackling, challenging for 50-50 balls and playing purposeful balls out of the back. Many tactical topics will be addressed including, defensive shape, playing a flat back four, defending free kicks and defending crosses. We will also address defensive tactics that begin with the forwards and through the midfielders - trying to instill the idea that defense begins with the most forward players.
We will be offering 2 weeks of Defenders camp this summer:
Week 1 - July 11-15 from 6-7PM at East Boulder Recreation Center in Boulder (5660 Sioux Dr., Boulder, CO
Week 2 - July 18-22 from 6-7PM at Foothills Community Park in Boulder (800 Cherry Ave., Boulder, CO)
Defenders camp is open for boys and girls in the U9-U14 age groups.
