Camps are aimed at young boys and girls who are aged between 6 or 7 years up to 17 or 18 years. We also encourage all participants to sign up for 1-2 weeks(s) or even the entire summer*.
Ginga Soccer Camps focus on teaching the fundamentals of soccer through a challenging and positive environment. Emphasis will be placed on learning technical skills and tactical elements through a series of practice drills and games. Participants will learn game tactics, increase fitness & develop soccer skills all in this intensive, yet fun, learning environment.
Due to the wide age gap, the participants are divided into small groups of no more than twenty, according to the age and skills of the students upon arrival. This method of division is used due to the fact that the exercises and training methods are specialized depending on the development of each participant, and you cannot expect a 7 year old to be carrying out the same skills as a young man of 18.
If a student happens to show during the camp, that their skills are superior to those of within the same peer group, then there is the possibility to move the student to a higher group, but only one approved and decided by the head trainer/assistants.
The idea of the camps is that by the end of their stay, the students will not only have learnt how to kick a ball or play as part of a team, but they will also have knowledge of nutrition, and will have had fun, met new friends, and all whilst surrounded by nature.
The soccer camps are the ideal time for children to learn about the interests and all parents can be confident that they are well looked after at all times.
