WINTER

2024-25

Keystone FC is proud to offer camps and clinics during the winter. These camps are open to players inside and outside of the club. Keystone FC offers a variety of camps and training throughout November, December, January, February, and March.

CURRICULUMS

Camps and clinics will have curriculums specifically tailored to focus on total player development. All curriculums will have an emphasis on technical and tactical development. We believe this is crucial in order to develop as a player. Each camp strives to make sure players leave a better player than when they started.

The staff will be comprised of Keystone FC staff, as well as a variety of other coaches from the area. Coaches have played at the collegiate and professional level and have earned licenses and certifications from the United States Soccer Federation and United Soccer Coaches. Current and former collegiate players may assist our coaching staff as needed.

1v1 fakes and feints
Runs off the ball in scoring positions
Back to goal ‘hold up’ play
Target play/turning to shoot
