Expand Your Soccer World
For our August Dutch Soccer School 2013 Tour, we are selecting players to form U12, U13, U14 and U15 boys and girls teams. We will travel to the Netherlands to compete against top-level Dutch youth teams. Be identified in our camps to participate!
100% Dutch Coaching Staff
We fly in our coaches directly from the Netherlands. They are not merely coaches; they are also teachers and mentors. Many of our coaches have graduated from a four- year CIOS College. At the Central Institution of Sports, coaches not only received their coaching licenses from the global leader in soccer development: KNVB (Royal Dutch Soccer Federation), but also learned how to work with, encourage, and incentivize young athletes. Every camp group will have the same Dutch coach for the entire week. Our coaches will get to know each of the players in their group and can coach them individually, assessing their needs and improving the specific areas best for them.
Fast Footwork and Power Shooting
Each morning session will include "Fast Footwork":
- 30 minutes of different moves each morning: back-, side-, feinting- and turn moves
- 30 minutes of 1v1 (applying moves)
- 30 minutes of small sided games (2v1, 2v2, 3v2, 4v3 towards a big goal)
Fast footwork sessions include passing and receiving at a fast pace.
Each afternoon will include a 45 minutes "Power Shooting Session" (both feet) combined with moves and first touch training.
4 vs. 4 games
In the Dutch soccer vision, the 4 vs. 4 game is the cornerstone. These games provide the foundation for playing attractive soccer. Each player has many touches on the ball, while learning to solve a variety of soccer problems. The 4 vs.4 provides many goals and excitement. Each afternoon we organize a different 4 vs. 4 format. We also keep track of the points of each player. Players will play short games, with and against different players each time.
Unique Camp Competitions
At the Dutch Soccer School our players don't just train. We also create games out of almost every exercise. Campers can win exciting prices! Beside the Dutch 4 vs. 4 competition with individual winners, we challenge our campers with camp finals in 1 vs. 1, dribbling, heading, and shooting. Our objective is to improve each player's technique, insight, mentality and speed of play.
Specialized Goalkeeper Training
In the Dutch vision of soccer, goalkeepers play a very important role. They are far more than the people who stop the ball and prevent goals. They are integrated into the field and are seen as key players, with skills equal to the 10 field players.
24 hours Supervision
All campers are supervised 24 hours a day by our female and male camp counselors, who stay on site with the players to ensure proper conduct and safety.
Certified Medical Trainer
Our trainer(s) will be available during all camp sessions in case a camper needs physicial treatment for any injury or illness. He/she will have a station at check in to go over each camper's medical information/records.
Player Evaluation
Campers will receive a comprehensive written player evaluation.
Video Analysis
