Camp sessions will focus on fundamentals including dribbling, passing, receiving, chipping, shooting, and individual and team defense and
offense. Campers will participate in league games throughout the week and a double-elimination tournament at the end of camp. In addition,
devotional times will be an integral part of the camp.

are separated into age and ability groups. The camp
accepts students of any race, color, or ethnic origin.

Cougar Spotlight
Playing soccer in college is such a gift that God has given me. I love playing soccer. Even before Christ saved me, soccer was my
escape when things were rough in my life. It was everything to me. But now that God has so gloriously captivated my life, He's letting
me use my love for soccer to help me love Him more. I always think ahead to the future, and I just know that some of my best college
memories will be from playing. God has also taught me so much through playing. Probably the biggest thing being, to just step back and
realize that every game could be of eternal significance, if I would just play it that way. To play for Him. Lessons, life long
friendships, and good times.
