POSITIONAL CAMP
These camps focus on teaching the nuances of each positional group within the team. Goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and strikers spend the bulk of the day training and discussing how to fine tune the skills necessary to become more effective in their roles. Technique, body positioning, and tactical awareness are heavily emphasized.
​
The Goalkeeper Camp will focus on all aspects of goalkeeping, including commanding the box, shot blocking, taking proper angles, positioning, handling crosses, distribution, and communication. This camp will feature local coaches with playing and coaching experience in goalkeeping.
​
The Strikers Camp is structured and designed to teach strikers the art of "finishing." It will focus on movement in and around the box, goal scoring positioning, losing defenders, diagonal runs, finishing technique, and goal scoring (not just shooting).
​
The Midfielder Camp is structured and designed to teach midfielders the nuances of great midfield play. It will focus on movement with and without the ball, creativity, box-to-box play, field vision, transition play, and offensive/defensive midfield tactics.
​
The Defender Camps is structured and designed to teach defenders the nuances of great defending. It will focus on proper positioning, field awareness, individual defending, team
defending, tackling, and proper defensive communication.
​
