The Belton Lady Tigers soccer program took another step forward in its offseason development with the annual Soccer Camp, held from July 21 to 23 at Belton High School grass fields behind the swim center. The three day event brought together young athletes from around the community and served as a bridge between Belton’s current varsity team and its future stars.

Originally designed as two separate sessions for girls entering 2nd–6th grade and 7th–9th grade, the camp was ultimately combined into one group, all training together from 8 to 11 a.m. each day. The schedule change did not dampen enthusiasm, as a strong turnout created a lively and competitive atmosphere from the opening whistle to the final huddle.

With drills, small games, and position focused instruction, the camp helped younger players experience the structure and expectations of the Belton soccer program. It gave student athletes the chance to interact with Belton coaches and get familiar with the way the Lady Tigers practice and compete.

High school players were also on hand throughout the week, helping lead drills, demonstrating technique, and offering encouragement to campers. Their leadership and support helped build connections between the varsity team and the next generation of Lady Tigers.

For the Belton soccer program, the camp is more than just a summer activity. It’s a chance to bring young athletes into the program early and help them develop both their skills and understanding of what it means to be a part of the Belton culture.

Meanwhile, the varsity Lady Tigers have stayed active this summer, completing three full weeks of workouts as part of their annual offseason “Summer Grind.” The team has focused on strength, conditioning, and building chemistry as they prepare for the upcoming school year and season.

With continued work and strong leadership, Belton looks to carry its momentum into the fall. Events like the LTS Soccer Camp play a key role in that journey, laying the foundation for future success both on and off the field.
