British Soccer Camp Comes to Kennesaw

Kennesaw Parks & Recreation has teamed up with Challenger Sports to host a week long British Soccer camp at Adams Park.

The camp will run Monday through Friday and each child will be coached by a member of Challenger’s British coaching staff flown to the U.S. exclusively to work on these programs.

The program kicks off July 29 and runs through Aug. 2. 

In addition to taking part in a daily regimen of foot skill development, technical and tactical practices and daily tournament style plays, each child will also be treated to a rich cultural experience and lessons on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship.

The most popular part of each camp is the Camp World Cup. The coaches use this daily tournament to teach the players about life, customs and traditions of other countries.  

This will mark the 13th straight year the camp has scheduled a stop in Kennesaw. 

“The camp is a popular summer activity for area soccer players and budding young athletes,” said David Pies, the city’s Recreation Division Manager. “We’ve been averaging about 100 campers each year.”

British Soccer Camp sessions are available for the following ages (fees are listed below as Kennesaw city resident/Non-resident):
