Championships are won in the off season…boys not in a winter sport…where are you?  NO EXCUSES!

Parents,

My apology as we were working from an old flyer sent out by error.  Bucknell Team Camp is July 10-13th.

Parents and Players,

The following are key dates for summer training opportunities that may assist you when planning summer vacations, etc.  We anticipate being a very young team next season so it’s vital that we train hard to remain competitive in the LL League.  We will be releasing sign up information very soon meanwhile please “Save the Dates” The coaching staff truly appreciate you support.  Please note that we will be offering summer pick up twice a week at the turf as well as recommended fitness training.  Since we will be inexperienced we may be offering a return to summer league play if there is sufficient interest. Go Bears.  Keep ETOWN BOYS SOCCER ON THE MAP!!

QUAD CAMP:  JUNE 22-25TH :  COST $30.  VARSITY AND JUNIOR HIGH PROGRAMS

Outstanding opportunity to receive direct instruction from local area college coaches who will implement training designed by Coach Sostack.  Evening sessions only – 5:45pm to 8:30pm.  This is an inexpensive camp designed to work on developing individual skills as well as an introduction to the formation play adopted by the boys soccer program.  Highly encourage ALL players grades 7-12 to participate (upcoming 6th graders are included).  We play nightly games against our team camp partners:  Hempfield HS, Manheim Central, and Penn Manor.

BUCKNELL TEAM CAMP:  JULY 10-13TH :  JUNIOR VARSITY AND VARSITY PROGRAM

This camp has been an Etown tradition for several years in which the team is coached by a selected college coach (coordinated with Coach Sostack.)  Highly competitive with extensive training on individual skills and team formation play.  Senior high players are given first priority however if there is sufficient interest in upcoming 9th grade or underclassmen we may consider a second squad.  Due to the expense of this camp we will be offering the boys and opportunity to fundraise in Spring (and maybe summer).  Our upcoming senior boys have decided that this camp is the best for our training needs.

Boys participating in the strength training should report be ready in the gym at 3:20pm.  Coach Derr and Coach Sostack have a faculty meeting directly after school.  Please remain in the lobby and use the time after school  to complete any homework or class assignments until we arrive.  Work hard on your grades!!!  Remember to bring a soccer “brother” and get strong as a “team”.   Jr. high players are welcome to join the older boys.

The following players will be divided into two teams (max of 10 for each team) for the Sunday, Feb 2nd, CV High School Tournament from 10am to 5pm.  Players are asked to wear their “Etown” grey t-shirt, blue shorts (or black),  blue socks (from the season), shin guards, and indoor soccer shoes.   Please report to CV High School at 9:20am with $12 in CASH.  See Coach Sostack with questions….AND show up for weight lifting..it’s time to get strong and build your botherhood!
