The soccer camp was broken into groups of age brackets with UK coaches assigned to each group. From soccer drills to mini-games, South Bay kids embellished in fun whilst learning crucial skills derived from UK International’s advanced programs.
One of UK International’s coaches, Neil Corrigan, shares “we’re trying to develop the players – it’s a summer camp so we want to make sure they’re having fun.”
First-time camper, Charles Hedding from El Segundo shares his favorite part of the camp: “doing all the shooting drills and all the skills drills” and wasn’t hesitant to recommend that other kids from El Segundo attend future soccer camps from UK International.
