Summer Excellence Camp Format
Preparation/Coordination
Thirty (30) minutes each day will be devoted for players to participate in various
European methods to prepare them mentally and physically for training. Athletes
will perform a series of specific movements to improve muscle development and promote
full body control. The repetition of these exercises is geared to significantly
enhance individual technical performance in matches.
Technical Session
The technical aspect of soccer must first be mastered before players can start to
learn how to tactically play the game. Each day, European professional players will
demonstrate the proper technique of a skill. Players will then practice the technique
used to correctly execute the skill with maximum repetitions. Small-sided exercises
will follow and emphasize the techniques used each day.
Lunch
Players must bring their own lunch each day. A shaded area will be available for
players to eat. Drinks can be purchased at the camp all day long.
