Camps are open to any player in the 5U - 15U age groups - Players currently in ABYSA/ HFC programs, players from outside of the club, or players looking to be introduced to or further their love of the game over the summer are ALL are welcome to register! 

ABYSA’s FUNdamentals Soccer Camp offers a games-centered teaching approach to soccer education, creating an exciting and entertaining environment designed to boost player learning. The FUNdamentals teaching method is designed to enrich players’ passion for soccer while teaching them the proper techniques for future soccer success. The camp will employ games designed to build technical foundations for dribbling, passing, receiving, shielding, and shooting. Older age groups will also be exposed to individual and small-group tactical implications of the game.  

Group Formation:
Campers will be placed in proper age groups and skill levels to ensure all players benefit from developmentally appropriate activities, teaching, and competition. 

Coaching:
FUNdamentals Camp Staff includes former collegiate and professional players each of whom coaches locally in the ABYSA Classic Division (HFC). All staff leaders hold the prestigious United States Soccer Federation (USSF) National Youth License, licensing them to educate young soccer players in a safe, developmentally appropriate teaching environment.

OPTIONAL: Early Bird Drop Off (7:30-8:45 AM drop off) -  $25 per camp week
Early Bird Drop Off allows you to drop your player(s) off for camp at 7:30 AM each day instead of the standard 8:45 camp arrival time. Players that are dropped off early will be supervised by camp staff and will be provided entertainment until the standard camp day starts. The fee is for a week of early drop off, but you can use the service as needed throughout the week. You can select this option while registering for any camp week in your PlayMetrics account. 

* Mills River Camps - Please Note that due to capacity limits at Patton Pool in Hendersonville, we will not be able to bring campers to the pool in the afternoons. Campers will remain at the field and play fun-low impact activities and games to cool down and relax during the last two hours of camp. Early pick-up is available if needed. 

Cancellations must be made 15 days before the first day of camp to receive a full refund minus a $10 administrative fee.
Cancellations made less than 15 days before the first day of camp will receive a 50% refund.
Transfers to a different week are available if that week still has room.
