Scoring goals and making saves. Two of the most important skills in the game of soccer. Yet, there are not a lot of camps that focus on these skills. If you fancy yourself a goalie or a striker, and are looking to improve your skills in these areas, this camp is for you!

Campers will be split into their respective groups to focus on different skills, and then come together at the end to compete against each other. Strikers will be taught basics of shooting, as well as other types of finishing (headers, volleys and trick shots). Goalies will be taught the main skills required for their position: shot stopping techniques (blocking & catching), as well as body positioning and agility.

Campers should bring shin guards and cleats. Goalies should also bring their own gloves. Each camper will receive a special Grace Soccer t-shirt.

All Day Soccer Camps (@Grace Community School) is one of the NEW camps available in the Tyler area. Established since 2008 in Mississippi, this camp will concentrate on the technical and tactical aspects of the small-sided games and challenge each camper throughout the week to improve from their individual soccer level. From a Christian environment, we also provide group devotionals for each theme of the day. The coaching staff’s dedication and professionalism will help all campers develop their game in the best of settings. The camp will focus on technical ball skills and small-sided games as well as emphasizing the finishing factor of scoring goals. There is no finer place than All Day Soccer Camps to get the best in basic and elite soccer education right near you!

Please wear cleats, shin guards, and bring your soccer ball if you have one. Campers should also bring indoor/tennis shoes, towel, and an extra set of clothes. All campers will receive a All Day Soccer Camp t-shirt! Full-day and half-day options available.

Take the mystery out of kindergarten. Early math and literacy concepts become real and meaningful as children make the connection to their everyday world. Multisensory strategies make lessons memorable and provide real-life context so children learn easily. Skills are presented explicitly from the easiest to the most challenging. Includes letter and word concepts, rich vocabulary, concepts about print, six core language and literacy domains. Lessons address general readiness, alphabet knowledge, letter/number recognition and formation, counting, drawing, shapes, and colors. Your child will get a boost for kindergarten in this course! Snack provided.

Is your child chronically late turning in papers? Does she show up for soccer practice without her soccer bag? Say things without thinking? Read something and forget what he read? Wait until the last minute and then get caught short on time to complete tasks? We can assist students through instruction, practice, and strategies. Our course will teach strategies that turn positive thinking into action, increase attention and enhance memory, successfully organize and plan, as well as manage emotions and build self-awareness. Optional follow-up opportunities will be presented at class for after school resumes.

Based on the best-selling book “The Dangerous Book for Boys”, this camp will have your son doing things that boys love to do. No video games or TV here!! Some of the activities might be just a little bit dangerous – like learning to build a fire! (Have no fear – all activities are well supervised and mom approved!) Some get you dirty – like water cannon fights on the dirt hill! And some are just plain awesome – like building and launching rockets over the baseball field! Come experience the most exciting camp for boys this summer, but hurry because space fills up fast! ***We will mix in some NEW activities this year!!!***

Campers are asked to bring a snack, refillable water bottle, and sunscreen or bug spray if needed.

Camp Director: Ryan Hinch
