HSC Registration and Medical Release / Parent Consent Form Camp Philosophy The
Hare Soccer Camps was founded to provide young players the opportunity to
learn and prepare for a higher level of goalkeeping and competitive soccer.
The Academy Session curriculum is designed for players who are ready to make
the transition from recreational to competitive soccer, and the Elite/College
Prep sessions are for the elite club, ODP, high school player and incoming
college freshman, who wants to play collegiate soccer. The philosophy of Hare
Soccer Camps is simple yet demanding. Our staff is challenged to develop the
technical and tactical skills of their students through dynamic, fun, and
demanding training sessions. Players are grouped according to gender, age and
ability to further create a challenging and positive training environment. We
feel the Hare Goalkeeper Academy / Hare Soccer Camps experience should be one
where coach and player can share the rewards of improvement through a well-disciplined,
educational work ethic. Shooting and Finishing Camp ($200 – Half-Day / $285 – Full-Day) July
9-13, 2012 - Boys and Girls Entering Fall 2012 Grades 4-12 Half-Day:
9am - 12noon Full-Day: 9am-4pm This camp is designed with advanced curriculums
for competitive level players who are looking to enhance specific skills in
their soccer repertoire. The Shooting and Finishing Camp is a unique program
that focuses on one of the most exciting aspects of the game: creating
chances and the art of finishing. This is not just for forwards; it is for
any player on the field who wants to improve their attacking skills. Small
group sessions are set up to challenge individuals in repetitive game
situations where attacking players need to excel: long distance shooting,
combination play, 1v1’s, turning and shooting in the box, crossing and
finishing, chipping and lobbing, volleys, attacking heading, playing with
your back to goal, and striker movement among many. By integrating the
Shooting & Finishing Camp and Goalkeeper Camp and running them
simultaneously, we are able to provide more game-realistic environments and
competition for both programs. Written evaluations will be given to the high
school group of players at end of camp. Goalkeeper Camp ($200.00 – Half-Day / $285.00 – Full-Day) July
9-13, 2012 - Boys and Girls Entering Fall 2012 Grades 4-12 Half-Day:
9am - 12noon Full-Day: 9am-4pm Goalkeeping is a unique position in the game of soccer
and requires specialized training to develop the goalkeeping skills,
self-confidence and toughness to be the team’s last line of defense and first
point of attack. To be effective in the position, goalkeepers need to be well
trained technically and tactically to integrate into the team’s defense. The
goalkeeper is the leader and communicator. The design of the goalkeeping
program will develop goalkeepers to be better decision makers. The program is
designed to be progressive based upon the grade, ability and experience of
the individual goalkeeper. The Goalkeeper Camp will cover the following
training topics: Stance, footwork, ball handling, angles and positioning,
shot stopping: catching, diving, ball distribution, 1 v 1 breakaways, crossed
balls, strength-agility and quickness, Communication, organizing the defense,
controlling the box, principles of defense, match play situations, leadership
and confidence, keeping focus and learning from mistakes. By integrating the
Goalkeeper Camp and the Shooting & Finishing Camp and running them
simultaneously, we are able to provide more game-realistic environments and
competition for both programs. Written evaluations will be given to the high
school group of players at end of camp. Goalkeeper Pre-Season Training Camp ($200) July
23-26, 2012 - Boys & Girls Entering Fall 2012 Grades 6-12 and Incoming
College Freshmen,
9am - 12noon The Hare Goalkeeper Academy and the Hare Soccer
Camps offers a truly unique opportunity for serious goalkeepers to get
themselves completely prepared for their club, ODP, Jr. / High school or
collegiate seasons. This camp is designed to fine-tune and prepare the
motivated GK to enter his or her club / ODP / high school or college
pre-season camp with confidence and a competitive edge. The training would
stress how to compete to WIN the starting job, or how to KEEP
the starting job by preparing the goalkeepers in all levels of the position.
This camp creates an environment to challenge the goalkeeper to advance to a
higher level of performance. This camp is an excellent preparation for the
freshman entering into collegiate level. The training is intense and
competitive. The camp includes technical training, footwork training, pressure
training, psychological preparation and competitive games. A 40-yard dash
times will be recorded and vertical jump measurements will be taken. The
format of this camp format involves five morning sessions reserved for ages
10-13 and college goalkeepers and five afternoon sessions reserved for high
school aged goalkeepers. Sessions are 3 hours in length. The number of
campers is limited to insure maximum results for each keeper. There will be
separate sessions for club, ODP, Junior High & High School groups and
collegiate goalkeepers. With special permission from Coach Hare, a high
school senior goalkeeper would be able to participate in the college session.
Written
evaluations will be given to all players at end of camp. Coaching Staff The coaching staff will be lead by Gerald “Jerry”
Hare, Founder & Director of Hare Goalkeeper Academy / Hare Soccer Camps. The HGA-HSC
Coaching Staff includes special guests, current & former college coaches,
