Girls soccer camp weathers rain showers on opening day

Players do an agility drill as rain falls on the first day of Warwick Girls Soccer Camp.

More than 40 athletes gathered at Sanfordville Elementary School on a rainy Monday morning for the first day of Warwick Girls Soccer Camp!

The showers, however, did not stop the players from rotating through four stations to work on their soccer skills and athletic agility. The camp is led by new varsity girls soccer coach Sean Hackbarth, with current members of the varsity team working with the campers as counselors.

Mr. Hackbarth told the 44 players that the two most important goals of the camp are for them to be healthy and happy. He wants the campers to take home a love for soccer.

"We start off with individual skills and abilities in the first part of camp, and then the second part of camp, we work on teamwork and dynamic connections," Mr. Hackbarth said. "So that second part will allow them to work together as a group, and that's ultimately building the team concept that we hope to include from grades four all the way through to high school."

The high school counselors also serve as role models for the young campers.

"They are the generation that the younger kids are going to look up to," Mr. Hackbarth said. "We have high school players who recently returned from college showcases and are now working with the campers".
