2023 Sports Camps
Brazilian Way Soccer - Elite Training Camp
This camp is a real-life experience of a pro youth academy training program.

The methodology makes use of training stations to expose players to different aspects of the game. Each station focuses on a specific technique and includes the perfect balance between technical/skills exercises (repetition of technique) and small-sided games, where players are encouraged to use the knowledge acquired in the exercises to solve problems in real game situations (tactical application of the technique). All activities are designed age appropriately, taking into consideration motor and cognitive stages of development of the participants. Camp is quite challenging but equally fun. Specialized goalkeeper training is offered in this camp
