MLS Soccer Camp

Registration materials will also be available for the MLS (Major League Soccer) camp this coming July.  More info on this exciting program is here: MLS Soccer Camp

The program will consist of two practices a week here in Livingston.  Practices will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays  from 4:15-5:30 at Sacajawea Park on the knee kicker field….starting mid March to late March.  We will meet with other academy groups on Saturdays, mostly in Bozeman and possibly here in Livingston.  Once a month, we may travel to Butte, Belgrade or somewhere close and play with other clubs that also have the academy program set up.  This program will focus on player development in Livingston during practices.  For games, players will be grouped with other like-skilled players and play small-sided games (maybe 3v3 or 6v6 as examples). This allows players to play other players with similar skills and abilities (they will start out on Saturdays with a training session and go into games afterwards). This program will be fun!! It will provide an opportunity for all players to development their skills, regardless of their current level. They will get a “taste” of spring travel soccer without the “competitive” edge.  This is a new program. It is a great stepping stone to enter the competitve travel program when these players get into the older groups!

There is an opportunity to enter a tournament in Billings in May if parents agree to cover the extra cost of travel (for this tournament Livingston players will play as the Raiders team (players will not be combined with players from other clubs).

The cost is $100.  The players will get a Raiders t-shirt, lots of touches on the ball and get to play with other kids of their age and ability once a week (Saturdays).
