Soccer Boarding Camp
The 2021 McCallie Soccer Camp packs plenty of soccer fun and learning into one week.
- The Director, Chris Cushenbery, and his assistant stay in the dorm and his staff is made up of current and former McCallie players as well as collegiate and semi-pro players from around the country.
- Time is structured and the boys are always supervised. McCallie Soccer Camp has boys from throughout the southeast.
- Soccer Camp aims to develop basic technical and tactical abilities which will enable the individual player to become more versatile. Various small-sided games allow players to learn and practice skills in the context of the game which makes learning fun and realistic.
- Players will be grouped by age and ability so that the individual player receives appropriate challenges.
