Welcome

Philosophy
The Soccer Mix philosophy is to provide a fun, exciting learning environment in which campers will be motivated to reach their full potential as soccer players.

What to Expect:
A safe and caring environment.
A Student to Staff Ratio of 8:1 or better.
A soccer school that goes above and beyond in terms of developing unique skills and an understanding of the game.
An opportunity to learn from coaches with international, professional and collegiate coaching backgrounds.
An atmosphere where students can express themselves and have fun.

Equipment
Proper Soccer gear in the form of T-shirt, shorts, shinguards and soccer cleats. We recommend that you were a cap and wear sunscreen too. We advise the cleats to be broken in to prevent blisters (do not wear brand-new cleats). Each camper will be asked to bring their own soccer ball.

General Information
SoccerMix Camps are run in conjunction with West Hartford Leisure Services. All camps will be hosted at King Philip Middle School. Tuition for the Soccer Mix Summer School is $155. This includes a free T-shirt.
