The Middle School camp is open to rising and current middle school students looking for challenging, skill-oriented technical sessions, leading up to small-sided scrimmage play. This Camp will give players an opportunity to train in a fast-paced, high-level and challenging environment, with sessions run by our Own Touch staff, who have years of college and professional playing experience under their belts.
Camp Overview
This week’s training is structured around three key technical stations, each designed to focus on specific aspects of the game. Players will rotate every 20 minutes, ensuring a well-rounded experience and plenty of individual attention.
Technical Stations:
Dribbling: Develop close control and confidence to beat defenders.
Passing and Receiving: Improve precision, timing, and teamwork.
Finishing Actions: Learn to apply passing, dribbling, and shooting in goal-scoring scenarios.
Training Structure:
Morning Sessions (9:15 AM – 10:30 AM): Focus on foundational, non-oppositional drills to build confidence and technique.
Mid-Morning Sessions (10:30 AM – 12:00 PM): Introduce opposition to simulate game situations, encouraging decision-making and tactical awareness.
Afternoon Sessions: Dedicated match play where players can apply their skills in a competitive, fun environment.
Examples of Morning Activities:
Dribbling using patterns, increasing the speed to improve the control.
Passing patterns in shapes such as triangles or squares to improve control and accuracy.
Finishing sequences involving passing, dribbling, and shooting at the goal.
Examples of Mid-Morning Activities:
Dribbling: 1v1, 2v1, or 3v1 scenarios where players must attack or defend specific areas.
Passing and Receiving: Rondos with decision-making based on pressure and opposition.
Finishing Actions: Transition games like 2v1, 3v1, or 3v2 to practice attacking and defending.
