Welcome to the Spring Soccer at Camp Living Water! This spring, we are excited to introduce the Train & Play Academy Model—a modern approach to youth soccer designed to accelerate player development and respect your family’s schedule.
Instead of separating practices and games across three different days and eating up your Saturdays, our 8-week season combines them into high-energy, twice-a-week sessions.
How a 75-Minute Session Works:
First 30 Minutes (The Train): Players focus on core skills—dribbling, passing, and spacing—in fast-paced, high-repetition drills with our coaching staff.
Second 45 Minutes (The Play): The pinnies go on, and the team immediately splits into a competitive, small-sided league match.
Why We Switched to Train & Play:
Instant Application: Kids don't have to wait four days to try out a new move in a game. They learn a skill and use it under pressure five minutes later.
Maximum Game Time: Traditional leagues offer 6 to 8 games a season. With Train & Play, your child will play in 16 small-sided matches over the 8-week season.
Protecting Family Time: By playing on weeknights, your weekends stay completely free for family time, church, and relaxation.
FAQs
Q: Wait, there are no Saturday games at all? A: That's right! All our matches are built directly into the weekday sessions. You get your weekends back.
Q: Is 75 minutes too long for the younger age groups? A: Not at all. Because we switch from structured drills to a live game halfway through, the environment completely shifts just as their attention span starts to wane. The game acts as the reward for the practice.
Q: Will they still play against other teams? A: Yes! While the first couple of weeks will feature intra-squad scrimmages to get everyone up to speed, the regular season will feature official 45-minute matches against other teams in their age bracket during the second half of the session.
