Join the BYU Cougars for great soccer action headed by the women’s head coach Jennifer Rockwood and the men’s head coach Chris Watkins. Also on staff are current and former BYU soccer standouts from both nationally ranked programs. Campers will learn the basics of footwork, dribbling, passing, shooting, and heading. They will incorporate these skills in training settings and game scrimmages. Small coach–to–camper ratios allow kids to benefit from individual instruction and attention.
