CHEERING ON TEAM USA

My daughter is getting hyped up for going to soccer camp by cheering on the United States women's national soccer team as they play in the FIFA Women's World Cup. This big tournament that is taking place in France from June 7 - July 7 is showcasing the talent of some of the best female soccer players in the world. My daughter has made me promise that we will watch Team USA's games together on television to root for them to win.

Watching this international soccer competition is sure to rev up her enthusiasm for attending Challenger Sports camp in August. This will be the third summer in a row my kids participate in a week-long Challenger Sports International Soccer Camp. They both enjoy themselves attending these camps and always see an improvement in their skills as they begin the Fall soccer season. While my son and daughter both are really enthused about attending soccer camp again this summer, she is a bit more amped up because the Women's World Cup has captured her attention.

To help camp attendees and their families follow along with the tournament, Challenger Sports International Soccer Camp has provided ageekdaddy.com with a bracket chart and television schedule for all the games. Team USA is in bracket F playing against Chile, Sweden and Thailand in the first round of the Women's World Cup. The team's with the best record in each bracket then move on to the next rounds of single elimination games until a tournament champ is determined. Go USA!



Just like this tournament, Challenger Sports summer camps have an international element to them. They bring in instructors from the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Brazil that serve not just as coaches but also international ambassadors for the kids who participate in Challenger Sports camps. My kids have really liked learning about the foreign countries the young adults who have worked at their camps have come from and learned a few soccer tips unique to those locals.

They've had camp counselors from England, Ireland, Brazil and Wales the last few years. The twins are already curious about what countries their coaches for this year's Challenger Sports International Soccer Camp will be from. We will find out in a few more weeks!

There is still time to sign up for Challenger Sports International Soccer Camps taking place throughout the United States.

A Geek Daddy received complimentary admission to Challenger Sports International Soccer Camp via U.S. Family Guide for my two children in exchange for promotional consideration. Opinions expressed are honest and my own. If my son and daughter didn't enjoy these camps we wouldn't have had them attend three years in a row. Click here to read about last year' s experience.

CHALLENGER INTERNATIONAL SOCCER

My kids are excited that they will be going to soccer camp again during their summer break from school. This will be the third year in a row we've participated in Challenger Sports' summer soccer camps. Both of the twins have had a great time in previous years at these soccer camps and were very enthusiastic when they found out ageekdaddy.com had partnered again with U.S. Family Guide to send them to participate in one of Challenger Sports' week long soccer camps taking place near our house.

In past years, Challenger Sports has run two distinct style of soccer camps. British Soccer Camps had instructors from the United Kingdom coach the kids with a European focus to soccer skills. While TetraBrazil featured instructors from South America and had a focus on that region's soccer heritage.

Challenger Sports, the leading camp company in the United States, is refocusing their soccer camps this year merging the most popular elements of British Soccer and TetraBrazil into a combined format. The all new Challenger International Soccer Camp will feature college aged instructors from around the world that serve both as coaches and youth ambassadors for the sport as will as incorporate iChallenge online features to the program.

Based upon the good times my children have previously had at these summer soccer camps and the improvement in both their athletic skills and confidence on the playing field I've seen them take away from these experiences, Challenger Sports has absolutely earned A Geek Daddy nod of approval. Having the chance to be coached by instructors who are from different places from around the globe also adds another element of excitement for the kids who participate in these camps. My children really appreciate that aspect of the program as well and are very inquisitive with their coaches to talk about the far away places they come from. No matter what their skill level is, any kid who has an interest in soccer will appreciate attending a Challenger Sports summer soccer camp.

A Geek Daddy has received complimentary camp enrollment for my own children to attend Challenger International Soccer Camp. I have not been paid for an endorsement. Opinions expressed are honest and my own.
