Note from Dr Abboud
2019 Boys Soccer Camps
Hello everyone. Hope that you have enjoyed your spring break, that you are enjoying the warm days of spring in Rochester after that seemingly long and brutal winter, and that you are anticipating success as you enter the last stretch of the 2018-2019 school year.

We will soon be embarking on our boys soccer summer camps. I want to share with you my plans for the camps and ask you to provide me with some information which will help me in the planning of the camp activities.

This summer, we will be holding two week-long camps. The first will be in the June 24-28 week, and the second in the July 8-12 week. In these two weeks, the daily camp activities will be between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. All camp activities will be held at the Mayo High School Stadium. The two camps will be for athletes in the 8th to 12th grades in the upcoming school year, ie the 2019-2020 school year.

My plan is to have three sessions in each morning lasting about 90 minutes each: one for defenders, one for midfielders, and the third for strikers. Goalkeepers will be assigned with defenders in the first camp, and with strikers in the second camp.

To help me with the camp organization, I need you to inform me as soon as possible , should you decide to participate in the camps, of the following:
1. your grade in the 2019-2020 school year,
2. the years of soccer experience that you have had, and
3. your preferred field position. If you have two preferred positions, then let me know, and I will assign you to your second preferred position in the second camp. I plan to honor your preferences as much as I can. The only limiting factor will be the need to have about equal numbers in each session to maximize the educational experience.

The camp charge will be $100, (the fee will be the same whether you plan to participate in one or 2 camps). The check should be addressed to “Mayo Boys Soccer Program” and handed to Mrs Robin Erickson in the Athletic Office as soon as your decision to participate in the camps is made. Scholarships are available.

Please note that these two camps are not sponsored by the school, that participation is voluntary, and that participating in the camps, or not participating, will not impact the results of the official boys soccer season tryouts which will be held starting August 12, 2019.

I look forward to hearing from you, and in the meantime, stay healthy and be a Spartan, someone we can all be proud of, in all your activities in or out of school.

Dr Abboud.
