The Sporting Delaware Skill Builder camp is a 4-day camp for players looking to start building the right foundation for travel soccer. Inspired by our seasonal Skill Builder program, the camp takes our seasonal curriculum and packs it into a one-week, high energy, engaging, and fun learning environment for players to build a strong foundation to progress into travel soccer. Focus will be on individual growth and establish a love for the game through technical training, physical literacy, game scenario training, and game-based play to provide a holistic approach to player development. The program will be led by Sporting Delaware Coaches to create an environment educating players in the technical and tactical concepts that can prepare them to become future travel players.
