For many years their British Soccer and TetraBrazil camp programs were delivered exclusively by British and Brazilian coaches and our coaching material was heavily influenced by those countries. When the World Cup demonstrated how well developed the game is globally, it is now providing players in the US and Canada with the best coaching methods and practices from world’s most influential soccer playing nations. Challenger’s International Soccer Camp will offer programs for each age/ability level.
- The TinyTykes program, ages 2-5, provides fundamental soccer activities, games, and stories; designed to enhance technical skills along with physical and social development.
- The Half-Day Camp, ages 5-16, is the most popular program and will provide 3 hours of skill development, games, challenges and competitions each day.
- The Full-Day Camp, ages 8-18, is a 6 hour program filled with developmental practices, games, competitions and challenges.
Campers will also receive free access to Challenger’s On Demand virtual library, allowing them to train At Home before, during and after camp! Each day includes individual foot skills, technical drills, tactical practices, small-sided games, coached scrimmages, and a daily World Cup tournament.

A few years ago we had the opportunity to experience a one-week summer camp. We had to sign-in and sign-out which made us feel safe dropping off my child. It was also at a public location (local middle school). My son and his friend signed up together which I think made it better. They learned various techniques and then teamed up to play. They were the older kids (age 11) in the group, but it was never an issue, because everyone that came wanted to play. We signed up for half day camp which is only three hours. It was also in the morning so it wasn’t super hot in the summer. The kids all get a soccer ball to keep and a t-shirt. Be sure to pack lots of water for them to stay hydrated.
