Summer Excellence Camp Overview

The Professional Football Academy (PFA) is pleased to unveil the Summer Excellence Camp Program for summer 2006. The Summer Excellence Camp provides youth soccer players an incomparable soccer experience through exposure to the training methods used by European professional teams. These training methods will be taught to campers by current and former European professional players. This year, due to the World Cup 2006 in Germany, the camp will feature current and former players from the German Bundesliga, Germany's top division. The format for training utilizes a logical progression of technical and tactical teaching. The camp intends to shift the perspective of how soccer is played, inspiring the campers to achieve a higher level of play.

The PFA, primarily created as an agency for American players seeking professional trials in Europe, is a unique organization that offers various programs associated and involved with professional European soccer that are otherwise limited in the United States. BV Cloppenburg, a German professional team, is one of the primary supporters of the PFA and its programs.

This year's camp program features some top level stars from the German Bundesliga (see Guest Coaching Staff). In addition to the international staff, College of William & Mary players will also be in attendance. The staff will lead all technical training and help play with the players in their league matches.
