05/31/2006: "The British Are Coming"

Island Rec is pleased to announce that one of the most respected and experienced soccer training organizations in the US, Challenger Sports British Soccer Camps is coming back to Friday Harbor this summer. This innovative soccer organization is rapidly establishing itself as the premier soccer camp company in the country.

The week-long camp offers exciting sessions for ALL levels of players from the complete novices up to the experienced competitive players. Half-day camps for novice players will be held July 10-14 and August 7-11. Minisoccer for kids ages 4&5 is also scheduled for the July week and a full day advanced camp for experienced players is scheduled for the week of August 7. All staff are fully qualified soccer coaches who are flown from Britain exclusively to work on these summer camps.

This is much more than a soccer camp, it is a whole cultural experience as the British coaches come and stay in the communities with families and interact with the players, coaches and parents alike. British Soccer Coaches will put on a free coaches clinic the week they are here. Island Rec is in need of several families to host a coach this summer.

Registration forms are now available at Island Rec at 580 Guard Street or www.islandrec.org. Call Island Rec at 378-4953 for more information.
