Camp Description

Residential camps are for committed soccer players who want to improve their individual skills and knowledge of the game while experiencing the total camp experience. Brit-Am Soccer Academy has been running residential camps for 7 years and has designed its program to meet the needs of the individual player or team in today's fast flowing game.

We offer a camp for the individual, small group or as a member of a team, and each player is challenged in every aspect of today's modern game.

During our morning session we concentrate on technical training, covering the following topics:

Dribbling
Running with the ball
Fakes & turns
Taking on opponents (1v1, 2v2)
Speed, agility & conditioning
Passing (short, drives, chips, curls)
Shooting (power shots & finishing)
Defending (1v1, 2v2)
Ball control (ground, bouncing and out of the air)
Heading (defending & attacking)

Players progress to the essentials of team play and tactics in the afternoon session with emphasis on being creative and being able to know what to do under pressure.

Combination play towards goal
Overlapping options to create space and 2 v1's
Building out of the back
Switching the point of attack
Corner Kicks (defending & attacking)
Learning & Understanding player positions
Free Kicks in scoring range
Team Pressure to win back possession (High, Medium & Low)
Keeping possession for the team (building confidence on the ball)

During our evening session, players are encouraged to play freely and practice all they they have been working on during the week. This is done by creating a game environment. Players get to play in a scrimmage format against the other players at the camp.

Away from the field we also like to maintain a soccer learning atmosphere and we do this through some of the following activities:

Video sessions
Discussions on Nutrition, Health & Fitness
Simple soccer assignments
Soccer Quiz night
Player evaluations

GOALKEEPER TRAINING

Footwork, Balance and positioning
Shot stopping
Dealing with crosses
Diving for saves, deflections and 1v1’s
Kicking and distribution
Decision making and communication
Real game situations

Testimonials

6th Annual Residential Camp 2008 - Frostburg State University
Our Daughter had a great time and said that she never had any time to be bored. The camp was hard work & lots of fun without feeling like there was too much soccer. Our daughter has attended some of the big name camps in the area but this has been her favorite so far because the activities were challenging & always different. As a new member of the squad, this was a great way to bond with her new team mates. Barry Shapiro (Parent of Carly Shapiro - Damascus Spark 'U13 Div 1 Wags)
Brit-Am Camp was really cool and lots of fun. Apart from the soccer I loved the pool time & the food was great. I learned a lot such as new turns and moves like the scissors. The blisters were worth it! Hannah Trusty (Orange Crush U'14)
I liked the World Cup tournament games in the evenings, because they were fun to play in yet competitive. My coach made all the sessions fun too both on & off the field. I felt like I worked hard all week but enjoyed it so it did'nt bother me. I cant wait to return next year and bring more of my team mates. Josh Settlemire ( Potomac Real U15 - NCSL Div 1 & Colonial League)
