Since it first started running soccer courses in Geneva in 2005, InterSoccer has become one of the most popular household names among expats living in Switzerland.
Literally thousands of boys and girls, aged from 3 to 13 years old, have benefited from their wide range of recreational and competitive football courses and camps, which run throughout the holidays as well as during the school term. All children, no matter what their skill level, are welcome at InterSoccer.
This summer, InterSoccer has organized Mini Camps for 3-5 year-olds, Junior camps for 5-9 year-olds, and Academy level camps for 10-13 year-olds. There are also special camps devoted entirely to goalkeepers, as well as ones targeted just at girls.
Co-founder, Steve Long, told knowitall.ch, “Each year, coaches from around the world join the InterSoccer team to offer a mix of skills, experience, knowledge and languages. While English is the main language of instruction, many of our coaches also speak French and German so local children can also take full advantage of our courses.”
Co-founder and permanent coach, Gordon Nunn, added, “InterSoccer is expanding so quickly that each year we have to add more venues to cater for the growing demand for places. This summer we are running camps in Geneva in the far west of Switzerland right through to Zug and Zurich in the east. There is even a camp in neighboring France, at FC Echevenex. Most of the camps are held at local sports centers or the playing fields of international schools.”
Camps are typically 5 days long, and most locations cater for all age groups with youngsters playing in the morning and older players on full-day sessions. However, it is also possible to book for fewer days at some locations if the dates don’t work for you and your child. Visit the InterSoccer website for more information.
