DPS ACADEMY 2011 SUMMER CAMP:
Building Great Skills, Great Spirit & Great Sportsmanship!

Soccer in the City 2011: Back To Basics
-----------------------------------------------------
DPS has always been about the fundamentals, and this year we are going to refocus even more on the importance of technical correctness in young boys and girls learning the game. This year's theme is "Back to Basics." We have also added an advanced session, for more experienced players. Camp starts on July 18.

The DPS™ Way has the capacity to help your child build great skills, great spirit and great sportsmanship, all while playing the “beautiful game” of soccer. The camp will concentrate on providing young players with a solid foundation in basic soccer technical skills and instilling a love of the game. Through experimentation children are encouraged to learn for themselves, but with the support and assistance of their coach if needed.

MISSION
At DPS™ Academy it is our mission to consistently develop children in the fundamentals of soccer, and instill in them a love of the game so they remain lifelong players and lovers of the sport.
