Girls Winter Clinic & Spring Preseason Camp

Overview

The Girls Winter Clinic and Preseason Camp is designed for Grades 4-8 and is part of our Girls Travel Soccer program. After an exciting winter of Sunday night clinics, the GSOC crew is ready to keep the energy going with a dedicated preseason camp to get everyone ready for the Spring travel season starting early April. These clinics are completely free and offer a unique opportunity for players to improve skills, build team chemistry, and connect with the GSOC style of play.

Why a Preseason Camp?

Spring teams often face challenges such as:

• Limited practice time due to facility constraints.
• Short instruction periods during the season.
• A lack of connection to the team’s style and culture.
• The need to build team chemistry before competitive play begins.

Our new solution? A preseason clinic led by GSOC players and coaches that uses Westborough High School facilities to offer focused training, mentorship, and fun competitive games.
