Monterey Bay Players Jump Into Session One of Club’s First Annual Summer Soccer Camp
SEASIDE, Calif. (Wednesday, June 7, 2023) – Monterey Bay Football Club (Monterey Bay F.C.) is hosting the first session of its first annual Summer Soccer Camps this week, aiming to give each participant a fun, positive and challenging environment to enhance their skills. Kids aged 6-13 signed up to participate in this week’s session to train with and learn from the MBFC technical staff.
In a fun twist today, those young participants were joined by Monterey Bay F.C. players Simon Dawkins, Chuy Enríquez, Mobi Fehr, James Murphy and Grant Robinson. Each player brought their soccer knowledge to today’s session by helping run skill-enhancing drills and activities at today’s camp, in addition to signing autographs and taking photos.
“The camp went really well today, it’s always good to be out here with the kids,” said Enríquez. “It was really cool to be out here. The kids know us, they know the team, they support the team a lot and they are excited that there are Union players out here. When we are here with them, you can see their faces light up and that right there makes me feel really good. Back when I was in school, I was one of those kids that always wanted the opportunity to learn from a professional player, so it’s great to be out here with them.”
There will be two additional sessions this summer set to take place July 17 – 21 and July 31 – August 4. This week’s session, as well as both future sessions, will run Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. each day during its designated week for a total of 15 hours of professional instruction.
All registered campers in attendance this week and/or during either of the next two sessions will receive a ticket and a parking pass to Monterey Bay’s Back to School Night match against Colorado Springs on August 26, plus one additional ticket to the same match for a guardian. Each camper will also be recognized on the field at this match. In addition, all participants will receive a t-shirt and a water bottle.
