Players/Parents,

Please sign up for Quad Camp ASAP so we can finalize our arrangements. Our annual Quad Camp is hosted at Hempfield HS with 3 other LL League schools (Hempfield, MC, and Penn Manor) with each evening training conducted by a selected college coach. Camp cost is $50 payable by check to Big E Booster Club:Boys Soccer and will be collected the first night of training. The camp is held from 6-8:30pm from June 19th – June 22nd. Boys serious about playing in the school program should plan to attend. Questions can be directed to Coach Sostack at james_sostack@etownschools.org.

Parents/Players,

Please register for Bucknell Team camp so we can finalize our arrangements. Here are the instructions for the registration process. IMPORTANT: We will provide $100 per player from our Big E Booster account so the camp cost is $380 (NOT $480). This is possible due to fundraising from last year – every family/player is strongly encouraged to participate in these activities so we can continue this practice in the future.

Quick review of the process is:

1.  Sign up using the following google doc link: https://forms.gle/2f3iF1CJch81ZpUD9

2.  Read information and complete waivers

3.  Send a deposit or full payment check thru the mail (Camp cost for Etown players = $380)

4.  Final payment due the first morning of camp during check in.

Don’t forget to SAVE THE DATE for evening team training with college coaches at Quad Camp (Hempfield HS) : June 19th – 22nd.

Time to commit to winning a championship NOW. All players not involved in spring sports (school) should be committed to weight training. Playing club soccer? Your practice is in the evening so no excuses…show up for weight training. CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE WON IN THE OFF SEASON! See Coach Sostack with questions. Weight training is Monday/Wednesday/Friday. Go Bears!!

Parents/Players,

We are in the process of collecting player names to assess our participation at Bucknell Team Camp held July 18th – 21st. Please email Coach Sostack at james_sostack@etownschools.org by February 17th to confirm your son’s participation: email using RE: Bucknell Camp 2023 providing player’s name and grade. The camp cost remains $480 for residential camp players. Last summer we provided $100 per player from our Big E Booster Camp to help offset the expense. Upcoming freshman boys are eligible to participate depending on the response of the upperclassmen. We had two teams last camp which included upcoming 9th graders. Please respond ASAP so we can evaluate if this camp has sufficient interest before exploring alternative local camps.

Don’t forget to also “save the date” for our annual evening Quad Camp for both senior and junior high players coached by college coaches – June 19-22 – cost last year was $40 for the entire week.

Go Bears.
