Riverhounds Unveil 2015 Summer Camp Series
April 3, 2015 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release
The Pittsburgh Riverhounds are offering two distinct summer camps in 2015 catering both to high level players with ambitions of reaching the college and professional ranks and those who enjoy participation without the rigors of a pressurized competitive environment.
Our FOURmative Track is designed for young athletes that are new to the game and are looking to maintain a healthy balance of sports in their lives, especially through quality summer activities.
Our Realization Track is an intensified curriculum involving professional level training routines. It will be used to identify the top young players from the region to compete in an invitational camp at Highmark Stadium in August.
Your children can participate in both tracks. It is recommended that less experienced players join the FOURmative Track prior to registering for the Realization Track.
