Part of the overall Youth Programs offered at Seymour Johnson and an integral part of the overall development of youth. Our Youth Sports leagues emphasize participation and skills training. The program is open to youth that are dependents of Active Duty and Retired Military, DoD and NAF Civilian employees and between the ages of 5 through 15 years.

Most leagues are coed and participate with community youth sports programs. We have seasonal openings for volunteer coaches and assistant coaches. Our coaches are required to attend classes and become certified by the National Youth Sports Coaches Association.

British Soccer Camp: Aug. 2-6

British Soccer Camps provide players of all ages and abilities with the rare opportunity to receive high-level soccer coaching from a team of international experts. Each day includes individual foot skills, technical drills, tactical practices, small-sided games, coached scrimmages, and a daily tournament. Equally important, the Challenger coaching staff provides your child with lessons in respect, responsibility, integrity, sportsmanship and leadership. Camp programs include a free ball and shirt and a free British Soccer jersey for on line registrations 45 days prior to camp!

1. First Kicks -- 9 to 10 a.m. -- ages 3 to 4
   Our innovative camp curriculum introduces young players to the soccer basics through fundamental activities, games and fun soccer challenges. We strive to create a perfect learning environment with maximum participation, lots of repetition and of course as much fun as possible. Your young campers will come away from the magical week not only with a better understanding of soccer, but with a true love for the game! ($65)
2. Mini Soccer -- 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. -- ages 4 to 6
   A longer and slightly more advanced program for younger children yet still all the First Kick ethics are included. Young players learn and develop their individual skills with fun games and practices. Sessions remain upbeat and fun but emphasis is placed on learning correct techniques ensuring no bad habits are picked up at an early age. Players are also exposed to small sided games where a basic understanding of rules and strategy is introduced. ($88)
3. Half Day -- choose 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. OR 5 to 8 p.m. -- ages 6 to 16
   Emphasis is placed on individual skill development and mastery of core techniques through individual drills, small group practices and coached games.  This program also includes our famous World Cup Tournament. During the World Cup campers are split into teams (countries) and they represent that country throughout the week in scrimmages and challenges.  The week long competition encourages our "Champions of Character" and concludes on Friday during our Closing Ceremony. ($103)
4. Full Day -- 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. AND 5 to 8 p.m. -- ages 8 to 16
   A more advanced camp for serious players, focusing on game-related techniques, tactical development and coached match play.  This program begins with the skill development of the half day camp and then pushes players past there limits as the players skills are tested in tactical situations, game related scenarios and competitive scrimmages. ($151)
