Soccer Camps

Palo Alto Soccer Camps are 5-day camps during PAUSD school breaks and during the summer.  School break camps are offered in a variety of full day and partial day formats.  Summer break camps are full day or half day.
Camps focus on skills appropriate to the ages of the campers, and advance a curriculum through the week, culminating in scrimmaging and game instruction in a small group setting.  Each day has a theme; dribbling, passing, shooting, control and skills of using the body.
For younger campers fun play-time themes are also introduced.  
 



Many hands make light work.  AYSO is an all-volunteer organization and can use your help.
