Kids Can Kick Off Summer With Soccer Camp At Husky Stadium

SCPD COP HOUSE 5TH ANNUAL SOCCER CAMP IS HAPPENING SOON

Sergeant Ryan Sayre joined me to discuss the successful COP House Soccer Camp program, with approximately 180 kids in attendance for last year's event. This year, it will be the 5th annual event, and if you haven't yet got your ticket for your child, you need to do so before they run out.

HUSKY STADIUM

The St. Cloud COP House Soccer Camp will be held at St. Cloud State University's Husky Stadium again this year, so kids will be able to feel like pro players under the big lights on the turf field. They really had a great time last year, and it was a great place to keep all those excited kids wrangled up in one convenient, exciting location.

NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

Kids need NO experience. Sargent Sayre said that the police officers have a great time playing right alongside, or sometimes against the kids, and what makes the event extra special is that the SCSU Soccer team players are the ones teaching the kids how to play soccer. Playing with real soccer players gives the kids a chance to see themselves playing soccer, and gives them an up-close and personal chance to meet and interact with real soccer players from SCSU.

OPEN TO ALL KIDS IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA

The COP House soccer camp is open to all kids in central Minnesota, not just St. Cloud, and is for ages 6 to 14. I asked Sergeant Sayre if any type of equipment was required. He told me that if your children have cleats, to have your kids bring them; but if your kids do not have them or cannot afford them, there will be a big pile of cleats being provided, so just have your kids wear appropriate clothing and their tennis shoes.

LIGHT SNACKS AND BEVERAGES PROVIDED

The kids will be served some light snacks and water/Gatorade during the event, and if it should be rained out, they will make alternative plans to do other fun activities inside. Regardless, they understand that the weather can be unpredictable, so they are prepared with fun activities for each day of the camp.

'There aren't many free camps around these days, but this camp is not just for kids in St. Cloud, but for any kids that are interested in central Minnesota, and it is FREE," said Sergeant Sayre.
