This summer, Celtic FC Florida hosted approximately 75 kids from within our community for the Celtic FC International Soccer Camp. This exciting camp was facilitated by the renowned coaches from the Celtic FC Youth Academy in Scotland.
The following week, the Celtic FC Youth Academy coaches held exclusive training sessions for Celtic FC Florida’s individual teams across all age groups. Additionally, the Scottish coaches had the opportunity to train our Club coaches in focused sessions to “Coach the Coach”. This special training gave our coaches the instruction necessary to equip them to build the proper foundations and continue teaching our players how to play soccer the Celtic Way.
The pedigree of the coaches who visited is second to none and included John McStay, Jonathan Burns, and Stevie Chalmers. John is the son of Willie McStay and nephew of Paul McStay. Jonathan is the son of Tommy Burns, and Stevie is the grandson of Stevie Chalmers! However, all of these men are Celtic legends and fantastic coaches in their own right. It was an honor to have them visit our Club and a privilege to have the opportunity to work with them and learn from them. We can’t wait to do it again next year!
At Celtic FC Florida, we look forward to bringing the philosophy of the Celtic Way to each and every member of our Celtic Family. To view photos of the camp, click here. To view all of the press we received from this fantastic event, click here.
