LOI Summer Soccer Camps

[A face]

Just wondering what clubs are running Kids Soccer Camps this year?

Cork City will have three weeks (http://www.corkcityfc.net/home/2012/05/25/2012-summer-camps/) this year, Nicely priced as well i think.

Any other clubs have them planned?

Ya Limerick FC will be running them. Usually run an Easter and Christmas camp also.

Harps just ran a successful Goalkeeper camp in Finn Park.

Nothing like teaching kids how to concede goals properly.

Pats are doing one in August. Think John Russell is the main person doing it

Dundalk run the Barry Kehoe Soccer School every summer:

What about Bohs, Derry and Rovers? Surprised that there aren't more doing them to be honest. Not only is it a chance to earn a bit of money, its a way to build a fan base.

Bit more on soccer schools (http://www.fai.ie/domestic-a-grassroots/summer-soccer-schools/102505-stephen-ward-and-ciara-grant-launch-fai-eflow-summer-soccer-schools-2012.html) that are taking place -> www.summersoccerschools.ie (http://www.summersoccerschools.ie) -> Early booking discount available on here as well

Edit: Rovers has a camp in April (http://www.shamrockrovers.ie/junior-hoops/srfc-soccer-camps) alright, nothing for the summer yet though. Sligo has indoor and outdoor camps on since 2008 but no sign of any in 2011 or 2012

Erm........ clubs are kind of in competition with that.

Unfair competition given that they're state subsidised......

Erm........ clubs are kind of in competition with that.

I know, but if LOI Clubs aren't running them then there aint no competition ;) ..... Its something which is very doable, most clubs already have the resources and the ability to do this. Most have a brand of sorts in their community and every club would like to needs to market to that exact age profile. Running these camps for 10-15 years could completely transform match nights for a club, it just needs a bit of hard work.
