First Youth Soccer Camp a Success
by Laura Littleton, Youth Center Summer Intern
The Siletz Tribal Youth Center
sponsored a week-long soccer camp for
local youth in August. Youth partic
ipants learned different skills consisting
of passing, trapping, and teamwork.
Sherri Groh, environmental planner,
and myself served as instructors for 10
youth age 5 to 12.
While we worked these kids hard,
they had fun, and some discovered that
they enjoyed playing soccer. At the end
of each day, we allowed the kids to
scrimmage. This time allowed each
child to discover if he/she liked one
position better than another. One partic
ipant discovered that he liked to play
the goalie position because he could use
his hands.
We hope to continue this camp next
summer, with just as much fun.
