Soccer Summer

The 2019 Buccaneer Soccer Camp will be held from June 17th to June 20th from 6-8pm at Ted Crites Alumni Field at Tom Hasbrouck Stadium at the campus of Buckhannon-Upshur High School. Camp is available to soccer players entering into grades 1st through 8th for the 2019-2020 school year. 

The camp is designed to give the participants an opportunity to learn and develop the basic techniques (dribbling, passing, shooting, goalkeeping and juggling) and tactics of the game of soccer. The major emphasis of Buccaneer Soccer Camp is for the children to develop a positive and fun experience with soccer during their week of camp.

Cost of camp is $50 per participant, and includes a t-shirt and opportunities to win prizes throughout the week. Campers should bring a soccer ball, cleats, shin guards, water, and gloves if wanting goalkeeper training.
