SUMMIT SOCCER CAMP 2010
|
Greetings Parent and Players, Once again, I want to take this opportunity to invite you to join our talented coaches and the large, enthusiastic group of soccer players attending the 2010 Summit Soccer School at Mt. Abraham Union High School. My wife Diane and I have had the pleasure of directing the Summit Soccer School at Mt. Abraham for the past 17 years. Over these years we have seen most of the great players from our area hone their skills at Summit Soccer School. Many have moved on to earn high school all-state honors and some have been successful at the collegiate level. However, to Diane, me and our long time senior staff coaches, the greatest pleasure comes from so many players developing a passion for this, the world’s most popular sport. It is also rewarding to see many graduates of Summit Soccer move on to star in high school and college. Many have continued their involvement playing in adult leagues, coaching or officiating. This provides great satisfaction for those of us who share the passion for the game of soccer. It is also rewarding to see many of our former campers return, as successful high school and college players, to coach at the Summit Soccer School. These athletes are giving back what many have given them, there knowledge and enthusiasm for the game. We like to think of our coaching staff as our soccer family. My observation, in over 30 years coaching soccer, is that Summit Soccer School is unique in the quality and continuity of the senior coaching staff. Soccer interest in Vermont has grown tremendously over the years. There is a state-wide soccer league with competition each spring called the Vermont Soccer League. There are currently more than 10,000 youth players registered and playing in Vermont. Locally, the Addison United Soccer Club fields ten or more teams ranging in age from seven to adult. Addison United is also fielding an adult men’s and women’s team that plays at the highest level of competition in Vermont. The Middlebury area also offers soccer opportunities for younger players through the Panther Soccer Club.

If you are interested in participating locally, you can contact me for information and visit the Addison United web sitewww.addisonunited.com. If you are interested in checking out the Vermont and national soccer scene visit www.vermontsoccer.org As educators, Diane and I know that a positive learning experience at The Summit Soccer School is more than just learning soccer skills. We select our coaches based on the belief that a coach’s positive, supportive relationship with each player is essential to their developing a love for the game. We know that for many, this year may be their first camp experience and we want this experience to be the first of many great times at the Summit Soccer School and on the soccer field. We typically keep the player to coach ratio for the young players at six to one, insuring close attention to individual needs. We also believe it is very important to provide the experienced player with the instruction and challenges that will move them toward their goal of becoming one of our future elite players. TUITION
