Dragon Elite Soccer Day Camps
The Dragon Elite Soccer Day Camp is designed for players entering grades 1-8 by Bradley Sellar, the Glenelg Country School Boys Varsity Soccer Coach, to promote individualized learning of techniques and skills. Campers will enjoy games, structured practices, and World Cup tournaments, ensuring maximum participation and fun. They will also learn advanced technical skills and develop an understanding of individual and group tactics. The coach must ensure players have a memorable experience, improve the technical and tactical skills of the game while having a great time, making new friends, and developing a love for the game. Each player will receive an individual feedback form from the coaches to let parents know how they developed over the session and what they can do at home to continue to improve their skills.
Coach Bradley Sellar is the current GCS Boys Varsity Soccer Coach, and currently the Programs/Boys Director at Baltimore Celtic Soccer Club and a Freedom Optimist Soccer board member, serving in roles such as Division Coordinator and Director of Player and Coach Development.
