After that, it shifted to Nike sponsorships in Nike also provides clothes as well as equipment for the campers. These youth soccer camps connect passionate and talented coaches with young athletes and ensure your child develops athletic skills and also learns essential life skills. This involves skills like teamwork, strategic thinking, and perseverance. One Soccer Schools have been operating in the U. S since Currently headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, the camp is known for its highly advanced soccer curriculum, which involves boys and girls.
There are different types of camps — California residential camps, summer day camps, after-school programs , co-ed winter and holiday clinics. Each provides professional soccer training to children and provides player development in technical and tactical skills through their helpful training methods.
These elite programs admit children between the ages of 3 till The programs for younger children include learning new skills, making friends, and having fun. Whereas the older children participate in professional soccer training sessions, and they get to engage with experienced coaches and enhance their athletic skills. Each soccer program has different durations — some are only overnight programs while others can last from anywhere between five to fifteen days. No matter which program you choose, your child will grow as an athlete as well as a person.
It provides a highly competitive environment perfect for improvement, learning, and enjoyment. The camp provides in-depth exposure to talented coaches from different esteemed colleges. The soccer camp has a partnership with VEO, which produces cameras solely to record footballers and showcase their talents. In-gym movement prep.
While the programming stays the same glute med work, T-spine mobility, etc. After the athletes complete the warm-up sequence approximately 20 minutes , we move on to jump testing. We utilize a three-jump countermovement jump test hands on hips , as well as a three-jump Abalakov jump test.
We are lucky enough to have access to force plates , so the jumps are performed and recorded on there.
The metrics we look closest at are jump height which the athlete is most interested in , impulse, and peak vertical force. If we can get one or all three of those metrics moving up on a fairly consistent basis, the athletes are heading in the right direction. I believe it is very important for both the athletes and coaches to see these metrics move or stagnate over time. First, it gives the athletes a sense of progress— a confirmation that the time and energy that they are putting in is paying off.
This is especially important in the soccer world, where even teenagers can be apprehensive about weight gain even in the form of muscle. The vertical jump data gives the coach something to reference when the athlete expresses concern over gaining a few pounds in the off-season.
For the vast majority of the time, while the athlete may be gaining weight, the improvements in their force-producing capabilities far outweigh the negative effect of this increase in mass. Second, the data does not lie, and therefore it holds the coach accountable for the training they are delivering.
It can often be a source of reflection and re-analyzation of the training program, which is important for driving continual improvement. After the jump testing, we head to the field and begin our on-field warm-up 5 minutes of light jogging and dynamic movements, mostly athlete directed and vertical plyos 10 minutes.
Regarding plyometrics, we follow the basic principles Mike Boyle laid out. Figure 3. Our six-week plyometric progression. As you can see, the intensity of the plyometrics increases every two weeks with weekly increases in volume. Pogo jumps are the only plyometric exercise performed more than one time a week. The intensity of these jumps is fairly low, and we put a big emphasis on ankle stiffness in the program, which is crucial for improving sprinting and jumping abilities.
These generally include a to yard lead-in, so the athlete can get up to speed before running through 6-inch hurdles. For the taller and faster athletes, 1. Next, the athletes run anywhere from max effort sprints, ranging from 55 to 78 meters. We use and meter distances for a few reasons. Second, these are not elite track athletes, and they generally reach max velocity by 40 meters; therefore, we can get away with starting our sprints at 55 meters and be fairly confident we are still getting to max velocity.
Our max effort sprinting progression is shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. Our max effort sprint progression. The max velocity sprints serve as our second performance test of the day, as the players are wearing GPS units so we can track improvements in max velocity capabilities over the course of the off-season. Figure 5. Kinograms are useful for reinforcing good sprint technique through visual feedback.
On Mondays, these come in the form of repeat sprints over 38 meters. We use 38 meters because that is the length between the penalty box and the halfway line on most soccer fields. The athletes sprint this distance every 30 seconds, resulting in about 5 seconds of work interspersed with 25 seconds of rest which is comparable to many RST protocols. The incomplete rest intervals during this exercise cause the players to get a slight metabolic i.
Figure 6. A velocity trace from a Monday on-field session. With the hamstrings already being taxed from the sprinting, we choose to not load them too heavily again in the weight room on the same day without an off-day following. The six-week progression of our Day 1 lift can be seen in Figure 7 below.
Figure 7. This shows the six-week progression of the Day 1 quad-dominant lift. Figure 8. Classification of running velocity. Players run the length of the field in seconds depending on the fitness level of the athlete , then use the remainder of the minute to walk the width of the penalty area 38 meters. We take minutes of passive rests between sets. With regard to volume, we follow the guidelines laid out by Derek Hansen , in which soccer players are recommended to work up to 4,, meters of tempo running per session.
Figure 9 shows our six-week extensive tempo run progression. Figure 9. Our six-week extensive tempo run progression. After the conditioning, we perform some sort of passing pattern for minutes. These passing patterns serve multiple purposes. First, the players love it, so it gives them something to look forward to at the end of a conditioning session. Second, practicing these sport-specific skills under fatigue is a different stimulus for them compared to what we typically do in-season.
No screw-in, baseball, or football cleats allowed. Tennis shoes are fine. This includes earrings earrings cannot be taped. Claire Cantwell, Program Director ccantwell ymcalincoln. When games are cancelled a notice will be posted on the website and sent to participants through Playerspace.
