Early Saturday morning on Jan. 30, high school students from grades 9-12 rushed the North Greenville University soccer field for the women’s soccer I.D. camp.
The women’s soccer I.D. Camp is designed for high school students who are interested in playing soccer at a collegiate level. The students got the opportunity to work with the NGU soccer staff and even take part in training sessions that allowed the NGU staff to assess and instruct each player’s technical and tactical ability.
Head coach for the NGU women’s soccer team, Andy Robinson, gave students some insight on what they would be doing during the camp on Saturday.
The students engaged in a soccer ball warmup to get things started.
The students were assigned different combinations to do with the ball in order to test their abilities.
Among other tests, the students were timed to see how fast they could sprint from point A to point B.
Karis Hoover, a junior right center back for the NGU women’s soccer team, explained to the students what their next exercise would entail.
The students’ abilities to juggle the soccer ball were also tested.
After a series of warmups and exercises, the students took a break and listened as they were given further instructions by coaches and players.
The students participated in a mini game where the objective was to keep the ball away from their partners.
The main goal for the student with the ball was to find a way to score for her team.
