Session IX TeamFirst Mini Camp

Session IX: TeamFirst Mini Camp (Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, and Tisha Venturini)

TeamFirst (Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, and Tisha Venturini Hoch) returned to the Berkshire Soccer Academy for their 8th year to offer a once-in-a-lifetime overnight soccer camp experience. They led on-field training and a soccer tournament during Session IX. TeamFirst helps girls cultivate a sense of self-worth in order to reach their full potential in life. Athletes come to TeamFirst to learn, work, compete, and have fun, and to play with love and respect for the game.

Sunday: Soccer Camp Arrival

Thank you families for making Arrival Day a great one. We are excited for our first ever Mini Camp! After lunch, campers had the chance to train on the fields with TeamFirst.

Opening Campfire

After soccer with TeamFirst, campers had the chance to try out some electives. In the evening, it was time for a PhotoBooth and Q&A session with TeamFirst which led into our Opening Campfire where the goal was to relax the campers and show them that Berky is a safe place to develop on and off the field.

Monday: Starting Soccer Training and Electives

Campers spent the morning at the fields for another amazing soccer session led by TeamFirst.

Berky Tourney

After more soccer and electives, it was time for campers to compete in a fun-filled Berky Tourney!  Check out the SmugMug link below for pictures of all of the action.

Tuesday: Player Development at Berky

Campers had the chance to develop on the field learning new skills from TeamFirst. Then it was time to switch gears and develop off the field participating in arts and crafts, cooking, archery, and cooling off at the waterfront.

Soccer Camp Departure

Our TeamFirst Mini Camp has drawn to a close. We’re sad to say goodbye, but we hope to see all of our campers again soon!
