Prep Your Game
M.A.C. Youth Sports Camps
Whether your kids want to improve their skills on the field or the court, Coach Eric Saxton is here to help. Starting in early May, Saxton will teach two five-week programs, intended to help children become better soccer and/or basketball players.

Each program will be split into two groups, one for younger, beginning players and another for older, more advanced players. Both the beginning and advanced soccer camps will be taught on Thursdays, from May 3 to May 31. The basketball camps will be held on Tuesdays, May 1 to May 29.
