Challenger British Soccer Camp
For many years our British Soccer and TetraBrazil camp programs were delivered exclusively by British and Brazilian coaches and our coaching material was heavily influenced by those countries. However, the recent World Cup demonstrated to us all just how well developed the game is globally and it is now time to provide players in the US and Canada with the very best coaching methods and practices from world’s most influential soccer playing nations.
The Challenger International Soccer Camp will feature a number of new elements in the curriculum and will also include a ground breaking technology feature providing players with an app based platform which will help them prepare before camp, learn skills quicker and more efficiently during the camp, and then help them to continue their education and skill development with camp homework and on-going virtual training throughout their season.
“After many years of delivering industry leading camps for youth players, we are excited to adapt our coaching methodology to cater to the way that today’s children take in new information and assimilate it. We have created a compelling blend of on-field instruction and off-field engagement that will encourage players to practice and improve.”
