For Classics Hammer FC Summer Camps

Classics Hammer FC has announced the dates for its 2008 summer camps program.

In addition to the extremely popular 'Goalkeeper/Striker Camp', this summer's offerings includes an 'All-Skills Camp', two sessions of the 'Future Stars Camp', and a 'High School Prep Camp'.

All Classics Hammer FC camps are aimed at providing the soccer players of Cincinnati the opportunity to experience the same training methods and curriculum that has made Classics Hammer FC a leader in player development.

All camps, except the 'High School Prep Camp', will be held at the Classics Hammer FC training facility at the Four Season's Marina on Kellogg Avenue. The complex is the most convenient to drive to in the area and includes over eleven acres of soccer-specific land.

Participants of our camps will be trained by the Classics Hammer FC professional coaching staff not local college players. Players are grouped and taught based on age and ability throughout the camp. Intense technical training will be the primary emphasis of this camp. Demanding training sessions should be expected.

To enhance the overall experience for players, designated (*) camps have limited enrollment. All fees must be paid in full one week prior to the first day of camp. No refund will be given unless the request is accompanied by a doctor's note.
