WHAT DO I NEED FOR SOCCER CAMP?

Lots of fun!

All SoccerStar campers NEED a soccerball, shinguards, and cleats (*turf shoes or sneakers are required for the turf at St. Andrew's). Campers may not wear cleats or turf shoes indoors at Visitation or St. Andrew's, so we strongly recommend each child brings sneakers in the event of a rain day or at least athletic sandals that s/he can slip on and off when going inside.

If you would like to sign-up, you can do so online by clicking on the Georgetown Visitation or St. Andrew's links in the top-left column of this page. Alternatively, you can call (301) 530-5472, and we would be glad to help you.

SoccerStar is back for another summer at Visitation and St. Andrew's. The camp staff is committed to the philosphy that every player, regardless of playing level, will leave camp with a solid knowledge of the game, a basis for individual improvement, and memories of a week filled with fun training sessions and activities.

All SoccerStar programs allow you to choose the time of day for your camp session. All day is 9:00 am - 3:30 pm; morning-only is 9:00 am - Noon; afternoon-only is 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm. We offer 15% team discounts for groups of five or more who sign up together.*
