Dear
Parents:
We
appreciate you entrusting your child to us at the
Great Lakes
Soccer
Academy
. The purpose of our camp is to provide the best instruction
possible so your child will improve his/her skills as a soccer
player. The hard work and effort your child puts into camp
will reflect what he/she gets out of camp.
Please find the camp your son/daughter is attending for more information regarding camp.
Our
staff is looking forward to working with your child.
Sincerely,
Brent Ridenour
President
