It is our belief that young players will learn from the pros best in a camp environment that is well organized, well supervised and above all else - fun! In addition to serving the needs of our campers of all ages and talents through the implementation of a quality curriculum, Indiana Blast Soccer Camps provide for a number of special activities that will include a visit from Methodist Sports Medicine Center trainers who will provide information on such topics as importance of fluids and good nutrition, and "how to get ready for the big game." Even lunch-time won't be a down time with Party Subs from SUBWAY and free Bomb Pops from Blue Bunny Ice Cream.
The cost for full-day (9am-4pm) instruction is $155 per student, while half-day (9am-12pm) tuition is $90. Early-bird, sibling, and team discounts are also available. Students can register online at www.indianablast.com , or by calling (317) 585-9203.
