BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - The WKU women's soccer program has announced its 2021 summer camp dates and times and is set to host four camps this summer, including the Early Summer ID Camp (June 4-5), Summer Elite ID Camp (July 8-9), Team Camp (July 10-13) and Half Day Camp (July 19-22).
"We have missed the hustle and bustle of summer activity, and we are excited to have camps back this summer," said head coach Jason Neidell. "We look forward to having youth and high-school aged soccer players return to our campus, as well as providing quality summer programming for the Bowling Green and surrounding areas. Our players are such fantastic role models, and we cannot wait to reconnect with the soccer community."
Updated information and online registration are available for all camps on the Hilltopper Soccer Academy website at www.wkusoccercamps.com. The camp prices listed below reflect the early-bird discount, which is valid until May 31. The Hilltopper Soccer Academy is committed to providing pandemic relief by offering a simple and affordable $45 deposit option for all camp registrations this summer.Â
Special discounts are also available specifically for the Summer Elite ID Camp and Team Camp. Siblings who attend together receive a $30 discount each, and campers who attend both camp sessions earn a $100 discount.
The Summer Elite ID Camp ($255) is for female players in grades 7-12 aspiring to play at the next level. This camp focuses on player development through advanced technical and tactical training and competitive match play. Goalkeepers will experience advanced individual training to improve footwork, angle play, shot-stopping, diving, distribution and defensive organization.
The Team Camp ($295) is a female-only camp geared to prepare high school and club teams and individuals players for the upcoming season through instructional sessions and a championship tournament. Players will improve field awareness through a series of instructional sessions designed to develop skills, as well as a better understanding of the game. Goalkeepers will receive individual instruction from our qualified goalkeeper staff. Independent campers will join an appropriate training group based on age and ability. Our staff coaches will work personally with each visiting coach to implement tactics that highlight team strengths. Additional activities may include team-building activities, leadership lessons, strength and conditioning, injury prevention, soccer nutrition, college recruiting discussions or panels about college life.Â
The Half Day Camp ($110) is for boys and girls ages 5-12 and is scheduled from 8:30 to 11:30 am daily. The campers will be grouped by age and ability and will participate in fun and challenging activities that emphasize individual soccer technique and sportsmanship values.
Due to the pandemic, all summer 2021 camp sessions will be non-residential, meaning that no one will be housed on the WKU campus. As a result, all campers who are visiting from out of town are encouraged to book their hotel accommodations early.
