SUMMER CAMPS

ROSA half-day Camp for Girls will focus on technical (ball skills = dribbling, moves, turns, passing, receiving, controlling balls, and plenty of shots on goal. In addition, there will be a strong focus on small-sided games in order to implement the skills learned while developing their tactical understanding both offensively and defensively along with game awareness and rules of the game. This will also help with their creativity, freedom to play, and putting them in the right soccer-based environment for quick decision-making. Our objective is to instill in them the same passion for the “beautiful game.” Players will be divided into a skill-based team but have the ability to move around as the staff sees fit. We will add in some fun games and competitions regarding their skills. During the snack/lunch break, we will also have quizzes and fun competitions.

​

Camp will be lead by Coach Jill Rutten who is a founder and head coach of the ROSA Soccer Academy Legends since its birth in 2020. She played professionally in Japan, Sweden, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland along with being capped with the US Women’s National Team. She has coached part-time since she was 18 years old in several languages until she retired at 40 years old to take on coaching back in her home state of Maryland. She currently holds her USSF B License and worked for our MD Olympic Development Program for 14 years. She will have a licensed and experienced coaching staff to assist with instilling the love for the game, self-confidence, teamwork, creativity, and game awareness.
