LPSC camps return in July

Lake Placid Soccer Centre is returning for its 47th year of summer youth soccer camps. The LPSC will hold an overnight youth soccer camp July 23-29 at St. Lawrence University and two day camps in Lake Placid in July and August.

LPSC camps offer several training sessions, including advanced goalkeeping training, an eight-day advanced field player session, entire team training for club and school teams, local day campers and a half-day program for kids aged 5 to 8.

“Being an LPSC camper means a brilliant week-long experience of great exercise, meeting new friends, learning and improving new soccer skills, constant games — possibly the best week of soccer of your life. Nothing better,” Mike McGlynn, camp co-founder and director, said in a statement.

LPSC camps focus on an individual soccer skills improvement program called the Coerver Coaching Method, which is named after former Dutch player and coach Wiel Coerver.

“The most exciting result for the staff of LPSC is the campers showing off their new soccer skills to their parents and siblings at the camp session ending family style awards ceremony,” McGlynn said.

The main LPSC overnight camp session at St. Lawrence University has 14 grass fields, campus security, college dorm rooms and certified athletic training support staff.

“Our proven camp program enables a great week of sleep away camp as we are fortunate to have a knowledgeable and experienced staff,” McGlynn said. “One element of our success is our family style environment and atmosphere with social off-field camp activities that balance the busy on-field camper soccer drills and games schedule. Over 70,000 campers have attended our summer camps since our first year in 1977.”
