Creative Skill Camps 2010 are a big hit across USA!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:

What are ISSA Creative Skill Camps?

International Street Soccer Association (ISSA) Creative Skill Camps have been set up to raise the level of skillfull players in Americas soccer teams.  This fun and exciting program will not only teach some of the worlds most modern skills but will also give your children the tools for learning, enabling them to think creatively and become an awesome soccer player.  Read more about how street soccer can be used in player development.

Music , skills and soccer thrills!

Creative skill camps are based around the ISSA philosophy that skill development is an integral base building block in childrens player development.  ISSA believe that if you can master the ball at a young age and create a culture of player that is naturally skilful and thinks in a creative manner then a new breed of soccer legends will emerge.   Look at the world’s best players and think what do all of them have in common ..... great skill!  

A lot of coaches nowadays tend to coach creativity out of children, teaching them by numbers the basics of how to kick a ball, the ISSA believe in letting skill develop naturally using a “person player approach” by teaching children the qualities of great players, never giving up, learning from mistakes, having a positive attitude, developing a winning mentality whilst also looking at player development by creating scenarios to develop skill and playing lots of small sided street soccer games so

kids get more touches on the ball and more opportunities to develop  natural skill. When children think in this way club coaches are then ready to teach other aspects of player’s development, like tactical play and performance conditioning.  

Creative Skill Camps create an environment where kids can make mistakes, where kids develop creativity and most of all they have FUN!

Creative skills camps select only the best coaches from the UK and qualified to very high ISSA standards and all of which excelled in the ISSA “Creative Skill Development” course. The coaches will show your kids some of the most effective skills in the world that will show players...

• Functional Street Soccer moves that can be applied on the field
• Creative soccer skills
• How techniques become skills
• To have more possibilities to improve your skill on the pitch
• The ability to act faster than other players
• Gain more confidence

Testimonials:

Thank you so much for putting on such a wonderful camp for these children.  My son is 7 and has being playing soccer since age 3, he absolutely loves it!  He has come home every day excited to show me all that he has learned at camp.  You and your coaches make him feel important, unique and confident.  It means so much to me to see your team treat these children like little super stars! Teaching them to take responsibility and improve on their short comings and to captilize on their strengths and life lessons to be implemented on and off the field.  I also thank you for allowing me to feel entirely comfortable leaving my baby with you for 3 hours, I know he is safe with you and your team so thank you THANK YOU for such a wonderful experience for not only my son, but myself - we hope you will be back next year.

Sincerely, Dani - Richmond Kickers Camp

Thank you for an amazing day. Kyle said that was one of his best days of his life! He already called his coach and teammates to share what he learned yesterday.
We are looking forward to getting your camp information and setting things up for the summer.
Again thanks,
Tracy

I just wanted to say THANKS for the great experience that Aidan was fortunate enough to have last week! He LOVED every minute of it, and learned a lot of creative and in his words "awesome" tricks. I don't think I have ever seen a group of kids (30-40) being put through such a vigorous workout/training session, but with smiles and excitement on all of their faces! They absolutely loved it, and were able to take away many new skills to add to their own skill sets. Being comfortable "on" the ball is a hard taught lesson for these kids to learn, but thanks to some of the skills and encouragement received while attending the Creative Skills Camp, they are well on their way. Your teaching skills and instruction, as well as the entire camp curriculum and staff was fantastic, and was extremely well received! I hope that future camps are planned for the Maumee Soccer Center for future years, as Aidan will most definitely attend!
 
Thanks again,  Joshua Zimmerman

''I was recently introduced to the Street Soccer concept on a coaching course by Creative Skill Camps Director of Coaching Darren Laver. As a coach seeking new ideas and ways to improve the players I work with, I was extremely interested and I see that it can have a huge influence in improving players. One area that seems to be lacking with many young players today is the most important area, being comfortable on the ball. I see Street Soccer as a great way to help develop ball control, improve skill and allow players to express themselves. I would highly recommend the ISSA Street Soccer creative skill camps as a excellent investment for coaches who are looking to provide players with a modern, fresh and exciting approach to developing technical excellence.''
