Training
Every day, the kids will have one training session in the morning and one in the evening.ย On the last day, the Saturday, the youngsters will play an eleven a side friendly matches before the closing and prizegiving ceremony.
When the camp start, the players will first be divided by age. Then at the end of the first training session, the groups will change again based on each player’s skill level. Of course, each camper’s physical capabilities will also be taken into account to prevent any huge disparities.
The kids will be put into 3 groups:
- The youngest (7 to 8 year olds): They will mostly train the basics of football: ball control, passing, dribbling, shooting.. the fundamentals.
- The intermediates (9 to 11 year olds): The intermediate campers will work on their ball skills too, but also their technical and tactical skills thanks to theory sessions that are then implemented in 3v3 or 2v2 match ups. Man marking in defensive phases will also be taught for example, as well as positioning off the ball in attacking phases.
- Teenagers (12 to 16 year olds): Finally, the oldest campers will deepen their tactical and technical training with exercises and drills that are more intense and advanced. Match ups will be more frequent in order to put what they are learning into practice.
Finally, it should be noted that goalkeepers are welcome in the AC Milan football camps.ย Training sessions for this unique position will take place, with drills and exercises suited to goalkeepers.
Coaches and coaching method
All coaches at the camp will have been trained based on the AC Milan mentality and method, created for these football camps.ย Indeed, the AC Milan Academy has created a method for developing the different aspects that young players need to develop at its innovation and development centre. There are four main components:
- Athletic development
- Technical and tactical development
- Mental strength
- Behaviour on and off the pitch
It is on these four pillars that the coaches will base their training sessions on during the week.
It is worth pointing out that all the coaches at the camp areย qualified and supervised by ex professional players.ย
Staff and activities
There will be staff members dedicated to taking care of the campers outside of the training sessions.ย They will organise game and activities every evening,ย which is very beneficial to the blossoming friendships between campers.
Also, there will be an educator that will take care of the youngest campers.
Trips and days out
Considering the wonderful setting of the camp,ย the staff will organise hikes and walks to make the most of the natureย at the hotel’s and pitch’s doorstep. The kids will make the most of the beautiful Italian mountains and scenery.
