In this camp we did technical work with the ball. We practiced our passing, receiving, defending, attacking, shooting, and heading. The camp helped me communicate better with my other teammates and improve my teamwork skills. We also played futsal which is soccer played in a gym. It helped me improve my speed of play and my opening up skills. The court was small so space was reduced and the speed of play was quick. This camp helped me quicken my speed of play. I knew what I was going to do with the ball before I received it. My favorite part about the camp was when we played World Cup. Out of all the teams my team won the most.
This was a very fun experience. I wish to attend another experience like this again. I recommend this camp to all those soccer athletes out there. The Lonestar Overnight Camp is the camp to go to next summer!"
"I was very enthusiastic about attending the Lonestar Overnight Soccer Camp since I have never been to one. I was looking for a fun summer time experience but my overall goal was to improve my soccer skills and abilities.
Everyday we had three sessions. In each session we practiced different soccer skills. The soccer camp helped me improve my foot work and my technical abilities with the ball. My speed of play and my moving on and off the ball sharpened. I learned how to make better choices on the field. I learned how to communicate with my teammates better so we could work as a team. This camp made me a more responsible person and independent person because I was away from my parents for one week. I had more responsibilities that I had to take care of by myself.
My favorite part about the camp was playing futsal. Futsal is soccer played inside a gym with a size four ball. This ball is heavy so it doesn’t bounce. The court was small and the space was reduced so I had to play much quicker. This game helped me improve my speed of play.
This camp not only helped me develop my soccer skills but I had a great time. I hope to be able to attend this camp again next year. I would encourage all those soccer players out there to go and join this soccer experience next year!"
