Dear Bernie Fagan Soccer campers:

Thank you so much for your patience as we have been evaluating information from public health officials while listening to many of our parents who have expressed a desire to have their children take part in a summer camp experience.  Although we have explored the possibility of modifying our curriculum to meet the recommendations from Governor Brown’s office and still provide the best soccer camp, Bernie Fagan Soccer has chosen to cancel camps for the summer of 2020.

As always, the safety and security of your children is a priority for us.  This crazy year in particular, though, has led us to be even more vigilant about the health and safety of our campers and coaches.  We realize this may be disappointing news for you, as it is for the coaches and me, but we will continue to look forward to better days ahead for all of our community.

Just as soon as it is safe and wise to do so, we will be hosting camps and look forward to seeing you at that time!  We will be in contact periodically to keep you posted of when we can all meet on the soccer field for some camp fun.  Until then, please keep practicing at home and remember that Hope, Julio, Alex, Andrew, myself and all of our coaches are thinking of you and praying for your continued health, safety, and growth in the game.

We love being part of your lives and we will all be celebrating on the soccer field just as soon as possible!  Please drop us a line and any photos of your children celebrating Soccer For Life … stay well!

Your Friend,
Bernie Fagan
