Our camps run from 9am until 3pm for five days. The Curriculum followed during each camp is based on the four cornerstones of Youth Development as outlined by the top professional youth academies in Europe: Physical, Technical, Tactical and Psychological.

Players will leave our camp with a more complete understanding of the game of soccer, and in addition to improving all week, they will be given drills and exercises that they can use on their own to help them reach their full potential as soccer players.

Most youth players have only had instruction on physical and technical development. At this camp, however we work on these important aspects while developing tactical awareness and teaching the four principles of play: Width, Depth, Penetration and Support. Using a three step approach we can introduce, advance and then consolidate each of these principles of play. Even the most technically and athletically advanced youth players can improve considerably when they properly grasp the four principles of play. For less technically and athletically gifted players it is essential that they improve their game awareness and understanding and this will allow them to maximize the abilities they do have.

In addition to the technical, tactical and physical components that we will be teaching during this camp, we will also introduce some basic sports psychology principles. Often times this aspect is overlooked, but it is essential to developing the complete, confident player.
