Description: The goal of our soccer program is to meet every single player where they are and challenge them to work harder, faster, and with more precision on the ball—so that they develop and return home to their teams with more ability and passion.

Athletes receive ongoing instruction and frequent feedback from highly-qualified coaches who are on the field at every session. Athletes have a ball at their feet during a large part of every session and get hundreds, and, sometimes, thousands of touches a day. Coaches focus on fundamentals like ball control, passing, shooting, and first touch; as well as more advanced attacking and defending techniques. Regardless of ability, every player is pushed to the edge of their game so they improve as much as possible. 

All of this is accomplished in a positive and fun environment as students experience the excitement, joy, and freedom found in playing soccer. Players should have basic soccer experience, wear appropriate soccer gear each day (t-shirt, shorts, long socks, and shin guards), and bring a soccer ball. In the event of rain, campers will play indoors and be introduced to futsal, the native game of Brazil.

In 1994 he was awarded the Golden Boot as the highest goal scorer in the Turkish League. He was also the Technical Director for the Turkish Soccer Federation.

Balance, footwork, core strength, integrity, sportsmanship

Age: For students entering grades 4-10. 
Space: Minimum enrollment 12; maximum enrollment 24
Time: Program runs from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 
Fee: $425; after March 30: $475.

Description: Each day will include instructional segments with specific targeted goals: games that will engage and reward students for pushing the bounds of their ability levels, to teach shot selection, positioning, and offensive and defensive tactics and strategy. 

Campers will get a clear understanding of how to hit fundamental strokes correctly, and we will teach them that mistakes are part of the learning process. There will be significant time spent working on drills to develop proper mechanics followed by games to reinforce and practice the new skill. Balance, footwork, core strength, integrity, and sportsmanship will be reinforced and rewarded constantly. 

We aim to create drills and some match play based on the ability of each player in order to create a positive experience. Ultimately, we want this to be a fun experience so that kids will want to play tennis for a lifetime.

Campers should bring a racquet each day. Please inform Camp prior to the start if the camper needs to borrow a demo racquet.

Instructor: Andy Krugman ’86, has been the KO Head Varsity Boys’ Tennis Coach for the past 25 years and in 2016 led the team to the NE Class “A” Championship.

Description: Camp KO Flag Football is the perfect program for your young athletes who want a complete introduction to America's Game or for those who simply want to brush up on their skills in preparation for league play. Through our 'skill of the day' campers will learn skills on both sides of the ball including the core components of passing, catching, and de-flagging or defensive positioning - all presented in a fun & positive environment. 

In the game of flag football, teams run or pass the ball downfield in order to score a touchdown. The primary difference in flag football is that it is a “no contact” game. Instead of tackling the ball carrier, defensive players attempt to pull the flags off the ball carrier’s belt. The program is designed for your child to build on performance and ability throughout the week without the same risk of injury as tackle football. At all levels, our flag football program is geared toward developing your child’s love for the game, as well as teaching sportsmanship values that extend far beyond the playing field. The week concludes with the Camp KO Sports Bowl, giving participants a chance to showcase their skills on the gridiron!
