Coach Gill will also be instructing a Monday through Thursday soccer camp for middle and high school girls at the Centennial Field practice field. Camp sessions will be from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Midfielder Hal Clement, the  outstanding midfielder award winner as a senior for coach Jamie Ard’s Bainbridge High School Bearcats soccer team this past season, will be a freshman for Coach Gill’s Middle Georgia Warriors this season. He had 26 goals and 10 assists as a Bearcat and is the top scorer in school history.

Midfielder Aubrie Provence, who had 17 goals and 19 assists for coach Chip Ariail’s Bainbridge High School Lady Cats in 2010 when she was named most valuable midfielder, recently completed her freshman season with coach Gill’s Middle Georgia Lady Warriors.

Registration deadline for the YMCA camp is Friday. The cost is $65 for YMCA members and $75 for non- members.

The cost for the night girls camp is $50, which can be paid when campers arrive.

During both camps, Coach Gill will instruct the youngsters in the basic soccer skills of ball control, passing, dribbling, heading, defense and shooting.
