Daily, from Monday, July 21 to Thursday, July 24, 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM

Village Bible Church | Plano Campus, 1111 W South Street, Plano, IL US 60545

Hey Kids! Come learn the game of soccer and play games with kids your own age!

Village Bible Church Plano Campus is running another free soccer camp this summer, July 21-24, from 6:00-8:30 pm. We split the kids up into groups according to age, so they will be practicing skills and playing scrimmages with kids who have similar skill levels. The camp is for kids ages 6-12. We have coaches that will be teaching the kids soccer skills that are applicable to their ability. Each day will have a fun-filled evening of soccer drills, soccer games, snacks, singing, and ministry time.

Learning and playing soccer is a fun time! The children will be divided into groups according to their ages, so they will be playing soccer with others with comparable skill level and physical size. Below are some questions about the soccer camp. If you have further questions, please send an email to plano@villagebible.org, and we will reply soon.

How will the age groups be divided?

Soccer camp is open to 6-12-year-olds. The groups will be:

  • Group 1: Ages 6-7
  • Group 2: Ages 8-9
  • Group 3: Ages 10-12
Who will be coaching?

There will be several coaches per age group. There will be two or three high school soccer coaches helping with the camp.

What are the field sizes the kids will be playing on?

The fields will be sized appropriately according to the age of the group of kids playing on the field.

What should the children wear?

We strongly recommend all kids wear shin guards on their legs. Shoes can be sneakers or soccer shoes. Shorts will normally be worn, but if it is colder, then sweatpants or other comfortable long pants. Any shirt will be fine; the kids will be wearing colored shirts to match during games.

Will there be water breaks?

Yes, we will have drinking water and spray water bottles available to the kids during the evening.

Why do you need to know about the allergies my child has?

We will be providing snacks during the evening, so we would like to know if anyone might be allergic to some ingredients.

Can parents stay and watch their children play soccer?

Yes, parents are encouraged to stay and watch. Feel free to bring a lawn chair. We just ask that you let the coaches work with the kids, teaching the skills and running the games. They may ask some parents to help at times if needed.

What other types of activities will occur at Soccer Camp?

The majority of the time each evening will be focused on learning soccer skills and playing games. Each evening, we will start with a short time together as a large group of all ages, maybe watching a skit on an important lesson, singing a song, and receiving instructions for the rest of the evening. We rotate the three age groups through soccer skill training, soccer games, and bible lesson & snack time in the air-conditioned building. At the end of the evening, everybody will go inside for a wrap-up session, including a fun time of encouragement for the kids from their leaders.
