Beginner to Tournament (Players 9-18)
Classes are programmed for three different proficiency levels: beginners, intermediates and advanced players — of all ages. Each student will be tested weekly and placed in a group of similar ability, and age. Beginners will be playing soccer in just a few days; intermediates will improve all aspects of their game; and advanced players will sharpen their game to a competitive edge.
 
Program for Tournament League Players (9-18 years old)

Innovative Teaching Techniques
Our camp will be among the first to introduce futsal, 5 on 5 soccer, no walls. The only indoor soccer sanctioned by FIFA, the world governing body of soccer. We will also be introducing tennis soccer: these revolutionary programs, developed by the well known Dutch coach, Weil Coerver will provide a unique and logical approach to the development of our young soccer players.

We recognized that soccer requires self-discipline and a great deal of well-grooved technique for full enjoyment. Soccer can become a way of life for the person who is willing to subject himself to this demand for knowledge and discipline. But soccer should be fun and rewarding. It can be learned in a short period of time if the instruction is conducted properly and the student pursues the sport with enthusiasm. Therefore, our soccer program is designed and operated as an intensive educational soccer camp.
 
Our Head Pro: Rachid Maaouni
 
Origninally from Morocco, Rachid started playing soccer before he can remember. His love for the game grew into a passion to become better as he excelled at every level. Today Rachid is a licensed coach with 15 years of coaching experience. From 1986 to 1990 he played as a semi-pro for FAR (Forces Armees Royales) of Morocco, a four time African cup winner, and has also played for RCA (Raja Casablanca Association) in Morocco from 1991 to 1994. He has since then played pro indoor soccer here in the U.S., for Arizona Sandsharks from 1996 to 1998 and has also worked in exclusive universities, conducting soccer coaching clinics and residential camps. Recently he has played and coached inter united and dynamo in the Sun Coast League in Florida (from 2000 to present) and has coached the U13 and U15 girls and boys with the Saint Pete Raiders (from 2004 to 2005). His enjoyment for the game did not end on the field, as he also received a BA in sports studies and wrote a thesis on soccer: “A modern system of play or the Alternation between specialization and polyvalence.” Rachid’s experience all over the world has led him to be tri-lingual, as he also speaks French & Spanish. With his leadership, every camper will excel.

Sleepover (multi-week or one-week)
Over three quarters of our enrollment is comprised of sleepover students. All meals, lodging, formal soccer instruction and leisure time activities are provided for our campers.

We strongly suggest to get the most out of our program that each student 9-18 years old enrolls for a minimum of two weeks and most beneficially a 3 or more week period.
 
Day Student (multi-week or one-week)
This program will be offered to players who live or will be staying off-campus and within commuting distance to Stonehill College. We recommend multi-week sessions but will also accept commuters as one-week campers. Day students will report Sunday, 2:00pm for testing. Group lessons will be taught Monday through Friday, followed by a tournament Saturday morning. Day campers will be provided with lunch at our school dining room.
 
Facilities
 
Offense Defense Soccer Camp’s facilities include a state-of-the-art soccer field conveniently located on Stonehill College’s Campus, just around the corner from the dorms. Lecture rooms, soccer movies, and other innovative soccer teaching devices will be available to all campers.


We are confident in the results obtainable with Offense Defense Soccer Camp’s teaching method because it is founded on the most up-to-date attitudes, teaching methods and aids being used by professional soccer educators.
