Offered for two weeks this summer, at West Middle School, Central Middle School and Heritage Park, the soccer camp has inspired young players. They learn everything from the fundamentals of the game to progressive and advanced skills, said Pat Van Dusen in the Plymouth-Canton Community Education office. Established in 1984, Centreville, Va.-based Britannia teaches kids to kick and head and shuffle the ball around the field. The coaching staff is comprised of players qualified in the Union of European Football Association and have extensive professional play experience. Plymouth resident Dan Stoney really liked working with coaches.
Kids get as much individual attention as possible throughout the day.
They bask in the knowledge that instructors are semi-pro or professional soccer players from Europe. The Hengesh family of Canton hosted two coaches for the week. They said they'll do it again next year. I loved working with the coaches and learning more moves. Lynne Meredith Cohn is a Metro Detroit free-lance writer.
