Portland Soccer Club Summer Camp Registration OPEN!
My name is Matt Dawson and I serve you on the Board of Directors of your Portland Soccer
Club. With our spring soccer season finally up and running I wanted to send out a note
informing you all about an EXCELLENT and AFFORDABLE opportunity to further your child's
soccer skills while supporting your Portland Soccer Club (PSC).
PSC will once again be hosting British Soccer Camp at the end of the summer (week of Aug 22 26) for the residents of Portland and neighboring communities. This is typically a convenient
week for families as it is the last week before Portland schools start up and many families are
short on options for child care during this week. It's a win-win for families and the club as it is a
great way for kids to get ready for the upcoming fall season and a portion of camp dues goes to
our soccer club.
The camp will be run at Rose Hill Fields in Portland and is geared for kids AGES 3 - 16 and any
ability. Challenger handpicks each coach from over 2000 applicants to come and teach our kids
new skills and the international passion for this great sport. I have two sons (13 and 10) who've
attended this camp since they were old enough to attend and not only do both enjoy the camp,
but having a camp coach stay with them for a week as well!
Register now and receive a FREE camp jersey shipped out immediately as your early-bird
incentive. (Shipping and handling not included). On the
week of camp every participant will also receive a brand new ball and t-shirt.
There are a multiple programs to choose from including half-day, full-day, and
goalkeeping depending on age and ability and camps start at only $87 for the entire week.
Please register at the link below and support your Portland Soccer Club!
