The Elite FC run Marysville Youth camp continues to be the largest summer in Marysville.  We have 275 + campers from ages 4-14 and  over 50 coaches working with the kids.  The camp offers a great soccer opportunity and individual attention to all players. 

The Marysville Youth camp will start on Monday June 22nd from 9 - noon.  We will be taking registrations until the first day.  The camp is being held at Marysville High School.  Registrations can be found on the Marysville Soccer Camp link on the left.

The last month was a very busy one for the club.  The club started tryouts in late May and ended them in early June.  There was a great display of the progress and development that the players are gaining by playing in the club.  The tryouts also showed that the great reputation as an club that focuses on developing players and doing it while upholding the high ethics of the club is getting known in other towns.   The club will again grow in size and give more kids a chance to grow a love for this great game.

The golf outing had 32 teams and a beautiful day to play some golf to help out the club continue to work on developing Central Park.  Thanks to all the golfers and sponsors that made this day a great success.
