FORT STEWART, Ga. - Fort Stewart’s Child, Youth and School Services program kicked off a week-long soccer camp for youth ages 7 and up, June 27-July1. Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills Unlimited partnered with Athletes Global Sports Academy to offer instructional based learning for youth wanting to learn soccer fundamentals.
“I wanted to give children a new experience,” said Amber Vega, program specialist. “Instructional learning empowers children to become more self-reliant and successful.”
According to Vega, Athletes Global a non-profit organization, offers sports clinics for everything from wrestling to cheerleading.
Thirty four children participated in the camp. In addition to soccer basics, youth gained knowledge on speed and agility to remain competitive on the field.
The structured clinic and instructor kept children engaged despite warm temperatures.
“Everything went well on our first day,” Vega said. “The kids came ready to learn and improve their soccer skills.”
“The most important thing my son has taken away from these sports camps is that he has learned the fundamentals that one must learn to fully function in the sport,” said Family Member Jerry Cobb. “My son Ian has participated in baseball, football and now soccer camp that have been offered at Fort Stewart.”
The SKIES Unlimited program is designed to expand and support academic life skills and athletic experiences to military-connected children, according to Vega.
