The sessions focus heavily on individual development. Players will receive over 10,000 touches on the ball at “game speed” every single day. Players will also learn how to apply proper technical execution within tactical situations, as well as applying within game models.

 

Who is this camp for:

This Camp is open to all players ages 8-16 who want to be pushed in an elite training environment and focused on improving the individual technical components of the game. The players will be expected to train and work at a very high level to force those around them to improve.

3 different age groups: 8-10, 11-13, 14-16. Players may be moved up or down to ensure proper competitive environment. For certain activities players of all ages will be mixed together when working on individual or isolated work.

 

Camp Model:

While we feel, it is imperative to ensure the environment we create promotes fun, creativity and passion, we create this environment within a well-structured, demanding training environment. The players will finish the camp having been exposed to National level coaching and instruction. Our goal is for them to truly develop as players, while also enjoying the game.
