The main objective of this Striker Camp is to give all players – forwards, midfielders and defenders experience at going to goal. The majority of this Camp will be played in the final third of the field and will assure that players will have more scoring opportunities and assists. This year we are proud to announce that the Digger Hawkins’ Striker Camp will also be hosted in Lincoln. A Goalkeeping component will also be added and will compliment the Striker Camp, this portion of the Camp will be headed up by Ileana Moschos Creighton Women’s Assistant & Goalkeeping Coach and former Greece Women’s National Team Goalkeeper.
Digger Hawkins' Striker Camp focuses on improving the art of creating and scoring goals.
