Severna Park Soccer

Greater severna park athletic association.

The mission of Severna Park Soccer is to provide the youth of our community with a rich soccer experience that is educational, fun and safe, and promotes a life-long love, and respect, for the game.

Club Overview

The Greater Severna Park Athletic Association (GSPAA), known as Green Hornets, is a non-profit organization established in 1949. Its operating principles rely on volunteerism, from coaching to support and administration activities.

We succeed in providing the youth of our community with a rich soccer experience that is educational, fun and safe, and promotes a life-long love, and respect, for the game. The various programs are intended to encourage and challenge our children to learn and improve, providing opportunities for every level of ability, interest and commitment. Through important character attributes such as sacrifice, dedication and commitment, we believe that Green Hornets soccer provides essential life skills that contribute to each child being able to achieve his or her full potential.

Soccer has the largest participation of all sports offered by Green Hornets. This past fall, our Development program introduced soccer to nearly 500 four, five and six year olds. Our Club program fielded more than 60 teams and provided a great recreational soccer experience to more than 1100 children from ages seven through seventeen. And the Select program fields over 40 teams involving almost 600 players, including 20 teams in NCSL and WAGS, several teams in EDP and Region 1 leagues. And over the past 3 years we have had 3 teams reach the Semi-Finals in State Cup, and 3 teams which played in the Championship match with one Champion.

The Clinic and Club programs play during the fall season only. This is not due to lack of interest but rather to the general lack of fields which are being used by sports for which spring is the primary sport. Teams in our select program usually play both in the fall and the spring, and our NCSL and WAGS are required to by their leagues (except for high school-aged teams who wish to sit out during the high school season).

In addition to playing the game, we also offer a program that teaches and develops referees. We provide opportunities to these young officials through our Club program.

Recently we have introduced a spring club-wide training program open to players from Select and Club Programs. This program is intended to teach the critical technical and tactical skills, in an age-graduated fashion, that are necessary to to compete in high-level travel soccer. We also conduct specialty camps periodically for goalkeeping, finishing and athletic performance.

A sports program as large as soccer depends on the hard work and dedication of many individuals. From on-field duties to administration, from coordinating leagues, schedules and tournaments to ordering uniforms, equipment and goals, from overseeing and certifying coaches to handling fundraising or dealing with local government, our volunteers make our soccer programs exceptional.

On behalf of Severna Park Soccer, I hope you will take advantage of the best value in youth soccer - costs, quality of instruction and facilities, and competitive opportunities - you can find, and consider becoming involved in some capacity.

Severna park,  soccer camps.

Rich in history, Severna Park, Maryland was originally called Boone and was one of the stops along the Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad, which was eventually converted to the B&A Rail Trail. The census-designated place located in Anne Arundel County also housed the Severn School which was founded in 1914 along with many other century old homes and buildings. In 2009, the Robinson House, a 1 ¹⁄₂-story red sandstone dwelling with a gambrel roof, 40 feet wide by 24 feet deep, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places .

In this special place there is a wonderful blend of the past and the present. Coerver® United is happy to be part of this historic area by providing a winning global coaching program inspired by the teachings of Wiel Coerver and created by Alfred Galustian and Charlie Cooke in the form of a youth soccer program. For over three decades, we have recruited nothing but the best soccer Coerver United coaches to support our players. To ensure effectiveness, we have a player to coach ratio of approximately 6:1. This way individual skills and small group play are not affected.

Our experienced coaches are trained often as new curriculum is developed, and new games and exercises are introduced by Coerver United coaches across the world. The camps emphasize teaching the individual skills that will produce great results for each player. Proper fundamental skills are taught before moving on to advanced skills.

Have you considered a Severna Park, Maryland summer soccer camp? Contact us at (443) 534-9686 or for more information visit CoerverUnited.com

Endorsed and recommended by several top federations, associations, club teams and corporations including the French Football Federation, Chinese Football Association, Newcastle United FC and global sponsor Adidas, our goal is to do as follows:

• Develop skilled, confident and creative players
• Make the game fun to practice and play
• Teach good sportsmanship and respect for all
• Value winning but not more than character and performance
• Provide a safe & educational experience that meets best practice criteria

Coerver United also does not let the winter months interfere with training which is why we have indoor soccer available for some of our programs. Some of these seasonal programs include:

First Skills – Developed for ages 2-5, these classes are 30 minutes long and have a player to coach ratio of approximately 8-1. Fun is the central theme during all sessions as skills are introduced and practiced. These young players get to experience the game in a way that fosters physical and social development and improves coordination, confidence and skill.

Performance Academy – For ages 12-14, this program is specifically for those players who are looking to improve their individual skills. Great for all levels of players, the focus is placed on individual skill development and our 4 core move sets with the goal of developing confidence on the ball.

As summer camps go, two types of week-long camps we host are Advanced and Ball Mastery.

Advanced level summer camp is available to players 10 years or older. Players are taught more complicated moves and they are placed into competitive environments with an emphasis on 1v1 and 2v2 play in the morning. Small group tactics are also taught and small-sided games are played featuring fast break attack and counter attacks.

Ball Mastery camps are for those between 6 and 11 years of age. Emphasis is on individual skill development and basic moves with the goal of developing confidence on the ball. Beginning “move sets” are taught and games are played to practice the moves in a method that starts with no pressure and slowly adds the pressure of time and/or space restrictions. Then passive defensive pressure is added and by the end of the first morning, players are performing moves under full defensive pressure to goal. Results are recorded each day and a finals competition is held on the last day of camp. Group champions are recognized at our award ceremony on Friday afternoon.

About Coerver United Coaching

Coerver United staff’s primary goal is to make each camper that comes into our facility our top priority. We are all about providing one of a kind customer service from registration to the end of the program. We thank you for your interest and commitment to help your child reach their potential as they gain valuable skills on and off the soccer field. Should you have any questions about camps, clinics, or team training, call or email us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Elvaton To Resume Soccer Program In Fall 2023

After a multi-year hiatus due to COVID-19, Elvaton Recreation Association in Millersville is reviving its soccer program for the fall 2023 season.

The program will be led by new commissioner Anthony Perry , who has experience in the Green Hornets soccer program. It will be a recreational program only, geared for children ages 4 to 10.

According to Perry, Elvaton Soccer's focus is equal playing and practice time, with an emphasis on balanced competition, fun being active and learning skills, and creating a family-oriented environment.

The program is starting over from scratch. Perry expressed hope that the Elvaton recreational community will return, as well as some possible overflow from other recreational programs that have filled up. The current plan is to keep everything in-house, but older age groups may be registered within the Anne Arundel Youth Soccer Association county league, depending on the number of teams Elvaton can fill.

The cost is $120 per player, and on-time registration closes August 31.

Those interested in the program or who have further questions may email [email protected].

“At no point did we focus on being perfect the whole season,” Coach Rick Stimpson said. “The way they played all year was just unbelievable. It just kept growing and growing and growing.”

Fellow champion Good Counsel, which won a 4-3 double-overtime thriller against St. John’s for the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference crown , and Whitman, which three-peated as Maryland Class 4A champion , round out the top three.
