Ethan Smith, British Soccer Camp coach, has the players try and balance the soccer ball on their shoulders as a drill at Posse Grounds Park. British Soccer Camp is making its second appearance this summer in Sedona.

The city of Sedona is again partnering with Challenger Sports to host a weeklong British Soccer Camp Monday through Friday, July 11 through 15.

Each child will be coached by a member of Challenger’s British coaching staff flown to the USA exclusively to work on these programs. Challenger will hold over 4,000 British Soccer Camps this summer and will coach over 150,000 players between the ages of 3 and 16, as well as completing free coach education clinics for over 40,000 parents and coaches.

In addition to taking part in a daily regime of foot skill development through the 1,000 touches curriculum, technical and tactical practices and daily World Cup-tournament-style plays, each child will be treated to a rich cultural experience and lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship.

Challenger’s custom-built camps focus on individual player development and are delivered by a team of passionate coaching staff handpicked to coach your player.

Each camper will receive a free camp t-shirt, soccer ball, soccer poster, individual skills performance evaluation and free access to an educational soccer website. The schedule is:
