Final Call for Spring Training Camp  There are still a few openings for the upcoming Spring Training Camp.  It’s a great way for your young soccer enthusiast to spend part of his or her Spring vacation.  “The School Break Camps are a blast,” says Education Program Director Ben Hardy.  “The kids love the soccer obstacle course, because they get to beat their time from the previous day.  There’s plenty of Futsal played, too – they can’t get enough Futsal.  It’s a great way for the kids to spend their vacation mornings.”   The Spring Training Camp meets from 9:00 a.m. to noon, April 18-22 at the Sports and Fitness Edge of Williston.  Cost is $135 per player and both boys and girls are welcome.  The program emphasizes development of sound soccer fundamentals through player instruction and evaluation.  Each day’s activities include “skill of the day” practice, fun and related games and match time.  Don’t delay, contact Ben Hardy at ben@farpostsoccerclub.com or call 863-8161 to register.
