Challenger Sports is the largest soccer camp company in North America
and is bringing professional coaching to your community!
The Challenger Difference
Challenger's International Soccer Camp staff is what keeps youth
players coming back. Our staff are soccer enthusiasts who live and
breathe the sport and can't wait to share their experiences,
expertise, and passions with each attending camper. Each one of our
enthusiastic staff members undergo background checks, formal
interviews, reference/referral checks, and attend Challenger Sports'
UK training week before coming to the US for SUMMER CAMP COACHING. Our
UK Training Week prepares our coaches to provide the best possible
player experience and focuses on on-field training sessions, adaptable
session plans for varying age/skill levels, as well as
classroom/seminar training. This SUMMER WE'LL HAVE COACHES FROM ALL
AROUND THE WORLD INCLUDING: Australia, New Zealand, Holland, Brazil,
USA, and Canada; as well as our traditional team of Brits from
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Wales! Each one of
our coaches will bring a unique cultural experience to the program. In
addition to an exciting week of soccer camp, campers love the cultural
experiences they gain when working with our staff. Campers working
with Brazilian coaches enjoy learning Brazilian words and terms in
Portuguese and campers working with United Kingdom coaches enjoy
learning about their coach's favorite EPL teams, British Culture and
landmarks!
