How did Challenger become the largest soccer camp operator
in the country? Simply put, we have the right people, teaching
the right things, in the right way. The Challenger Way!
Approximately 500 British Soccer coaches are selected by
Challenger’s UK-based staff, from over a thousand
potential candidates. They are all F.A. licensed coaches,
but more importantly they love children and understand how
we teach new skills, build confidence and have fun all at
the same time!
To build confidence in players, it’s not enough to
just have a great curriculum with the best people teaching
it. You have to teach the techniques and tactics in a way
that motivates the players to want to practice and to want
to improve. Challenger has created a unique teaching methodology
that incorporates a progressive series of practices where
increased levels of pressure, added restrictions and game-like
competition are introduced as players become comfortable
with the skill being taught.
After 18 years of research in over 1,500 communities in
the USA and Canada, Challenger has developed an innovative
way of coaching your players that revolves around fun, personal
challenge, maximum participation and constant positive feedback.
The Challenger Way not only addresses the technical, tactical,
physical and psychological requirements of the game at each
age level, but more importantly it focuses on the child
as an individual and not just as a player on a team.
- We question players to understand the solution to the
challenges they are faced with
- We provide positive feedback and encouragement at every
step of the learning process
- We encourage players to communicate and think for themselves
- We challenge players to compete against themselves
and to focus on improvement
- We know how to make traditional practices more fun
