Striker Camp “The Final Touch”

It's referred to as the “GOLAZO”-the beautiful goal.
Whether it’s a chip, a bending free kick, a power shot, a full volley, half volley, bicycle kick, or a toe poke, goals are exciting, great to watch, and exhilarating to execute. Every shot is enjoyed best when it finds the back of the net. Each day, campers strike the ball more than 100 times. Innovative striking sessions will be designed to incorporate different game situations. Challenging Skills and Next Level techniques add high intensity, short duration activities that make finishing more demanding and game related.

Small group tactical sessions work on:

• Principles of Attack
• Attacking patterns and runs
• Give and Go’s
• Crossing and finishing
• Beating the offside trap
• Framing the goal

Our teaching elements are designed for all campers to acquire the ability to make their final touch count.

KINDER KICKS - Ages 3-6
"Soccer With A Smile"

Enjoy SABA’s fun filled Kinder Kicks program. Kinder Kicks was designed to provide a fast-paced series of soccer related games and activities for the young beginner. After seeing many players struggle with their first soccer experience, Harry Triana designed Kinder Kicks using innovative techniques that help produce “SOCCER WITH A SMILE.” Kinder Kicks develops motor skills, cognitive abilities, and peer relationships. Coordination and motivation is enhanced through dribbling, passing, and shooting games. In the end, the coaches make the difference by incorporating their teaching methods, patience, and enthusiasm.
