Azusa Pacific University's summer sports camps drew youth participants from the surrounding areas throughout June and July. The university offered local youth and elite athletes alike the opportunity to attend soccer and softball camps to develop their skills and learn about teamwork.
The soccer camps kicked off with APU's youth camp, hosted by head coach Phil Wolf, assistant coaches Dave Blomquist and Dan Wood, and the nationally-ranked Cougar men’s and women’s soccer players. The co-ed youth clinics for ages 5-14 took place on the West Campus soccer fields July 7-10. The coaches and Cougar players incorporated top-level instruction with fun games and competitions for the campers, leaving all who took part with a feeling of accomplishment, and a new love for Cougar-style soccer.
This summer's camps provided quality instruction in a caring, encouraging atmosphere as APU athletes reached out to local youth and elite athletes, showing them how to compete and play with the character of a true champion.
