The camp reflects Hartwick's fine tradition in soccer and offers young players a chance to improve their skills. The camp is available for two one-week sessions, or campers may choose to participate in both sessions. Dribbling, shooting, heading, tackling, trapping, and goalkeeping are among the individual skills the camp teaches, along with group and team tactics. Small group structure assures that each camper will receive individual instruction from the staff. Morning sessions focus on functional training that reflects individual and group situations pertaining to the game.
Afternoon sessions focus on collective tactics, team preparation, and small-sided games.
Evening games will give players the opportunity to put their new skills to test during full-sided games. Jim Lennox , Hartwick's men's soccer coach since 1976, directs the camp. He is assisted by a talented group of coaches, including professional players from the U.S. and England. Lennox has led the Hartwick soccer program for the last 24 seasons. His 1977 team won the NCAA Division I National Championship.
