CAMP PHILOSOPHY
Soccer is a game of fundamentals. We will teach young players shooting, heading, passing, tackling, dribbling and defending in a fun and positive way. We will also introduce various aspects of team play. It is our belief that the emphasizing of individual player confidence with the ball will translate into improved play in game situations, as well as instill a love for the game of soccer.
WHY THE BISHOP MIEGE SOCCER CLINIC
There are dozens of camps and clinics in the Kansas City area. We want to have an inexpensive clinic here in Northeast Johnson County in the middle of the summer before players begin their fall season; one that teaches both the mental, technical, and tactical aspects of soccer in a fun, creative, and positive way. Anyone can play the sport of soccer. It's the love of the game we wish to pass on to our participants, as well as improve their soccer level.
