West Plains Zizzer Soccer

For the past 12 years, the WPHS Boys Soccer Team has sent a group to the Missouri State Soccer School at Missouri State University in Springfield. It is time once again to decide if we would like to continue this experience. In order to send a group, we will need approximately 15 players. By starting to plan now, it can help to prepare for the expense.

The Boys Team Camp involves teams from many different areas of the United States at various competitive levels. In our time at MSSS, we have competed against and trained with teams from Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Arkansas, and all over Missouri. We have also worked with a number of college coaches, club coaches, and college players. It is a great bonding experience for the boys as well.

The 2010 Missouri State Soccer School Boys Team Camp will be held Tuesday, July 20 through Friday, July 23, 2010. The cost is $380 per player. The cost includes training with an excellent Staff Coach, game play, presentations by college coaches and college players, demonstrations, housing, and meals (dinner on Tuesday through Lunch on Friday I think). In addition, each player will receive a camp ball and camp t-shirt.

Incoming Fresman through Seniors are eligible to attend. If you (your son) are interested in attending, let Coach Schmitt know ASAP. For more information or to register online, go to www.msusoccer.com a deposit will be required with the balance due the first day of camp.

Spread the word to any interested players.
