Directed by Peoria City president Jim DeRose, the Winter Back-to-School Camp is open to boys and girls in grades 3rd-8th of all abilities who want to develop their all-around game. This camp will feature multiple sessions of highly-focused, individual training with each camper receiving maximum touches on the ball. After a short lunch break, players will be divided into teams for 3v3/4v4 games that will feature both directional and non-directional games and activities to provide each player with real match decision-making scenarios, as well as the opportunity to enhance their speed of play and play in a high tempo environment to facilitate movement both with and without the ball. While there will not be specific goalkeeper training during the day, the camp will provide aspiring goalkeepers a maximum amount of work with their feet, which is essential to their development in the modern game. The camp will feature a short lunch break from 11:45-12:15 and campers should provide their own lunch. Peoria City will not provide lunch.
