Info From MCFC President

...spring soccer camp hosted by MCFC is both timely and important to our teams and our Club. Please mark your calendars starting the first Sunday of March, the 4th, as well as the 11th, 18th, 25th, and then into April on the 1st, 15th, 22nd and 29th. We plan to host a camp based on the specific training needs of our Club teams and to use the camp as an opportunity to invite potential club players to “try-outs” in the context of the soccer camp. We believe both the timing of the camp is perfect (preparation for spring, but also not extending out too long because we have very busy months in May and June with ODP try-outs, league play, etc.) and in terms of cost. We will be charging $65 for the camp per player and each player will receive an MCFC logo t-shirt and a soccer ball as part of the fees. The fees are half that of Catalyst and the eight week segment is more reasonable. With fees for CYSA relatively low in the spring, this is a great opportunity for club players to put time into development and refinement of skills. The camp will likely be held at San Benancio school from 3-5pm for the U10-U13 age group, and 5-7pm for the U14-U18 age groups – different focus areas. The following individuals will be involved in teaching at the camp:

Rod Gilchrist National C License
Hillel Rom National D License
Khalid Ali-Rasheed National C Diploma
Eric Johnsen National D License
Jason Del Porto Director SVYSL, CSUMB & Samba Player

A detailed flyer will be forthcoming in the next few days about the camp. We would like a very strong participation from club teams and remember, the camp will primarily be geared towards the training needs of our teams. This will also be an opportunity for coaches to come out and observe, participate, etc. and learn some innovative exercises in helping develop your own team and working on the skills they need.

Please let me know of the interest level in having your players participate in the camp, approximately how many players you think might come, and your specific training needs as you see them today.

We are also planning on an F license course for coaches the weekend of March 24 and hoping to get a referee course as well.
