Western New York Soccer Skills

Soccer Camps

All 5-10 year old soccer players in Western New York are welcome to attend!

Location
Our camp will be held on Coyer Field, located on the campus of Buffalo State University.

Address: 801 Grant St, Buffalo, NY 14213

Note: If there is inclement weather, we will move to the indoor facilities at Buffalo State. This means we have fun activities ready for the kiddos rain or shine!

Basic Concept
Several different skill “stations” will be set up and players will rotate through those stations each day. Players will be with the same coach and same group all week, allowing them to make new friends and get more comfortable learning from their coach.  In addition to skills stations, there will be a brief (20-30 minute) break each day for snacks. Camp will conclude each day with a fun small-sided game going to goal, where players will get to showcase the skills they  have learned throughout the week in a  game simulated setting!

Our Goal
We welcome all skill levels to our camps. Our coaches will focus on teaching skills of the game, but will ensure that players are also having fun and enjoying their teammates in their group. Our goal is to help players  develop a lifelong love of the sport!

More Fun & Prizes!
At the end of each day, we will select one player from each group as our “Camper of the Day.” Winners will get a picture with the head coach for their group and a free “Camper of the Day” t-shirt! We also have other competitions and fun giveaways for camp participants!
