Coaches Charley Howe, from London, England and Will Edgar, who hails from Glasgow, Scotland, led the camp.

The lads led 22 will-be soccer players, ages 4-16, in passing, shooting, dribbling, heading and more.

All within the framework of character development, based on respect, responsibility, integrity, leadership and sportsmanship.

Challenger Sports is the No. 1 soccer camp providers in the United States, Canada and Australia.

This summer Howe and Edgar have taken part in camps in Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Panama City, Marco Island and in South Carolina and Georgia.

This is the first summer for Edgar, who said, "This is a great job, I love it. Howe, in his second summer, said, "This is just the best experience ever."

The next British Challenger Soccer Camp is Aug. 6-10 Those interested can sign up at www.challengersports.com.More photos online at marconews.com.
