Local soccer academy to run winter camps

The All England Soccer Academy will run its 2004 winter soccer

camps Dec. 20-22 at the Alicia Parkway Soccer Field in Laguna Niguel.

The camp is open to advanced players ages eight to 15 and will run

between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. each of the three days.

Players attending the camp will be placed in groups based on age

and ability. Technical and tactical elements of soccer will be

developed during the week and a World Cup soccer tournament will be

held on the final day of the camp.

The presentation of various awards will follow the tournament.

For the first two hours of each day, the camp’s goalkeeper coach

will work specifically with players who wish to develop their

goalkeeping skills. The keepers will then join the appropriate group

for the remaining two hours of camp.

For the first time, each player attending the camp will receive a

free Vizari soccer shirt.
