The Henlopen Soccer Club elementary soccer camp was held at Cape Henlopen High School’s Bermuda field July 8-12.
Campers worked on speed and agility each day in an atmosphere that provides competitive structure and fun for the young players. Participants also learned ball control, passing, dribbling, goaltending, shooting, and offensive and defensive strategy.
The camp was coached by Cape Henlopen head coach Patrick Kilby, assistant coach Joe Rupar and Henlopen Soccer Club goalie coach Scott Bleile.
“The Henlopen Soccer Club offers recreational soccer and great player development,” said Kilby.
