LEWISTON/MOSCOW, IDAHO - It's a week full of soccer in the quad-cities. We'll first check in the Valley, as Lewiston's Walker Field plays hosts to the Valley Thunder soccer club Camp.

Organizer Michelle Parson said for them, the goal is to make a little cash for the young club, as it continues to grow.

"This is the first fundraiser for the Valley thunder soccer club, that we just started in the Valley this year," Parson said. "We actually had one team last year, but it was just one. W decicedd that we would open it up to different age groups. So now we have 10s, 12s, 14s and 16s."

This week is for those who are serious about soccer. A number of coaches from Boise have come up to put on what Parson called an "advanced camp." The first day was just about getting ready for that.

"We're just kind of doing a warmup, a preview of what going to be happening the next few days, so they're ready for it. We're strictly bringing advanced-type play here in the Valley."

If you missed out on sign-up, but still would like to get in some soccer this week, Parson says they'll still do what they can to get you on the field.

"They can come here, pick up a registration form here. The camp is 125 for the camp." Parson added, "We'd probably be able to work something out if they were only coming for the two days. So, if anybody's interested, come down to the field tomorrow, we're at walker Field and sign up.")

Organizers will be there at 8:00, and training starts at 9:00. Again the 125 dollar initial fee is negotiable if you are a late registrant. All the action is happening until tomorrow at Walker Field.

The Palouse is catching the soccer bug as well.

We stopped by Moscow Junior High School, where a number of kids were on the field for the two-day Moscow United Soccer Club Striker/Keeper clinic.

"A lot of this is technique type stuff, so it's slow," said clinich coach Jared Vreeland. "It's just looking at them finishing on empty nets, things like that. It's more repetition and muscle memory type stuff, and getting them looks at the goal, and for keepers, getting them a lot of shots to take."

"How to handle thing under pressure and block breakaways and do all that fun stuff," said Brittnay Davis, a young camper.

Vreeland said it's part of a series of camps, meant to hone in on the specific skills of each footballer.

"An individual player camp in that it's more for a defender or a midfielder, but this is highly specific for strikers and keepers."

Striker, keeper, midfielder, defender, or whatever, Vreeland said with all the soccer in the Quad-Cities and around the world lately, his sport is doing just fine.

"I think that it's growing," said Vreeland. "It's hard to schedule your own, when considering UI and WSU as well have their clinics. But I think in general around the area soccer is growing as a community."

But that's more of a question for the future of the sport. Brittnay Davis says she hopes her soccer career lasts a long time.

Davis, "I want to play for the Vandals."
