Not too late for FAI soccer camp

Paul Fitzpatrick It's not too late if you want to attend one of the FAI summer soccer camps behind held around the county. Over 400 children are due to participate in six soccer camps hosted in Cavan. With successful camps already held, three more are planned in Bailieborough (July 23-27), Ballyjamesduff (July 30-August 3) and Kingscourt (August 13-17). There will also be a special goalkeeper's camp on August 18-19 in Kingscourt. The week-long soccer schools are open to boys and girls aged six to 14 years of all abilities and, with a goalkeeper camp on offer this year also, there is plenty of choice for all levels of ability and experience. The camps, overseen by FAI-accredited coaches, provide an opportunity for children to learn new skills, develop existing skills, have fun and benefit from the guidance of some of Ireland's best soccer coaches. On the first day of camp, each participant will receive a full set of kit, a football and a backpack - all exclusive to the eFlow FAI Summer Soccer Schools. Now in its 16th year, this year's eFlow FAI Summer Soccer Schools promises to be extra special as every soccer enthusiast will take to the pitch after watching the Irish team participate in the Euro 2012 championships.
