Camp

I have been participating in a soccer camp this week. There is a guest coach named Max who plays for the Victoria Highlanders. He also played for Sheffield Wednsday in the UK. He has his UEFA B coaching license which is one of the highest levels of coaching licenses you can get in the world! There are a few things that I have picked up from his coaching, and that I have linked to almost all of the coaching I have ever had.

Every practice (or day in the case of a camp) should have a theme. Or at least an area that is being looked at. This allows for drills to picked accordingly, and for certain areas to be looked at during scrimmages.

As well the session typically starts with a warm up. Then a skill/technical aspect. Followed by drills. Typically one followed by break and then one more. After that there is typically a game situation type scrimmage where the areas looked at in the drills are covered and reinforced.

Max is a highly accomplished coach and anything I can pick up from him is definitely something I should hang on too!
