As part of the Admirals outreach plan, I worked a soccer camp in Girard, PA for a week. Girard is about 30 mins away from Erie, so they were in the player net which the Erie Admirals looked to draw from. The Admirals would take players from within 60 miles away, so Girard was definitely a target.
These kids loved soccer but as they lived outside of Erie they had little knowledge of the Erie Admirals. The skill levels of these kids was very basic, so the drills we set up had to match their ability. At the conclusion of the camp we handed out free t-shirts and tickets to the next home game. It was a success as 18 of the 40 kids we coached that week turned up to the next home game, and 7 of them ended up signing up to the Erie Admirals Youth Club.
Met with Sam Tojaga again with some other coaches to set up the GLS Camp. I would be coaching two teams, three times a week. We talked through a quick plan of how the sessions would be set up and what would be coached, according to the level of the kids we were assigned to. We split up the names we had from the applicants and made teams according to their age group. We then had a quick teaser session inside the FamilyFirst Sports Park dome for all the kids.
