Overview

Mission

Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer exists to promote, foster and perpetuate the game of soccer on the youth level in the territory designated as Eastern Pennsylvania and foster the mental, physical and emotional growth of the eastern Pennsylvania youth through the sport of soccer.

What it reported doing in 2023

Eastern Pennsylvania youth soccer's camp programs are available to all children in our association. The focus is on player development and enhancing their skills to compete at various levels. Day camps and team training camps are held at various locations throughout the state in cooperation with the member clubs. 300+ players at 5 locations were provided training during the summer months. Holiday vacation camps, and technical training sessions were offered indoors over winter months to nearly 200 kids. The resident camp is held on a college campus providing dormitory space for overnight stays. Over 600 players attended this past year. Aside from soccer training, players were taught about nutrition and fitness by local experts. Many of our odp staff work as instructors along with a certified athletic trainer. The players also learn about time management and how to live independently on a college campus. Fees collected supplement other programs throughout the organization including camp scholarships which assisted approximately 15 children.

The verdict
