Location
The training center is located in the town of Publier, between Evian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains.
This town is in the middle of the French Alps, next to the Léman Lake. It is also near Geneva and opposite Lausanne in Switzerland.
The mountains and the lake make it a magnificent place with an incredible view, and ideal conditions for playing soccer. Not only is the place beautiful and picturesque, it also helps clear outside distractions, and allows players to focus completely on their soccer.
Accommodation
Participants will stay in double rooms with one other player. High speed internet is available throughout the centre and there are multiple lounge areas with different purposes such as the media room, the video game room and the study room.
Training kits are cleaned after every game and training session by the staff who are a team of dedicated professionals hoping to make those staying at the ICEF as comfortable as possible. In fact, the staff are multilingual, speaking at least French and English, and multicultural. This helps kids from all over the world feel right at home.
The sporting Facilities
The ICEF-PSG stretches over two and a half hectares of land and there are multiple 11v11 natural grass pitches as well as several 11v11 all-weather, artificial grass fields, including a heated field which is an unusual luxury.
All the dressing room facilities are brand new and they are top of the line, ideal for preparation and bonding as a team. There is a health centre on site with trained medical staff and even a physical therapist, so the camp is more than prepared to deal with any physical problems that a player might experience.
A fully equipped gym with cardio, strength and recovery areas is present in the Performance Centre. It has resulted in truly feeling like a professional experience, and encourages the participants to perform, train and work better and harder than they usually do.
All these sporting facilities make the ICEF a world class training center, and the campers will feel just like professional players.
Catering and food
A correct diet is crucial for a top class athlete and the ICEF is very much aware of this. The chefs cook organic meals for the participants that contain everything they need to improve the most that they can and the food is all organic, balanced and varied.
Any dietary restrictions or allergies can be allowed for as long as you warn the camp before coming.
Safety and security
The camp is protected by 24h/24 surveillance and there are cameras throughout the campus.
All activities take place in the center and everything is within walking distance.
Therefore, there are absolutely no concerns to be had over the safety of your child.

Training
The soccer camp focuses on three main activities to maximise performance: technical/tactical training, mental training and physical training.
Technical and tactical training :
Firstly, there will be two technical and tactical training sessions a day. They will be led by professional coaches that are highly qualified. They will also be helped by experts in the development of children.
Your child will therefore be in very good hands. For the tactical aspect, the coaches will teach the campers how to play as a team, how to transition from defence to attack and how to position properly on the field. For the technical aspect, the coaches will organise various drills to keep the training sessions dynamic. For example, there will be drills for ball control, dribbling, passing, speed, body movement, tackling and shooting.
Mental training :
Secondly, there will be daily work on mental conditioning and soccer intelligence. There is no magic recipe to becoming an excellent player. Better physical capabilities will certainly help your child improve and it is easy to concentrate on just the physical aspect. However, that is not what will make your child an exceptional player, they will need to understand the game and play with their brain. The best players in the world are not necessarily the fastest or the strongest, they know where to be at what time. They are also aware of their weaknesses and strengths, which helps them be as efficient as possible on the pitch.
Moreover, mental conditioning will help the players deal with stress and frustration, on the field and off it. Sometimes, especially at that age, teenagers can be their own biggest obstacle to improving and performing, and mental conditioning can help them overcome this.
Physical training :
Finally, there will be lots of physical training over the course of the week. The intensity of the program forces each player to give everything they can, and this will in turn lead to noticeably improved physical performance. The players will be more and more comfortable on the field as the week goes on, which will let them concentrate on other aspects of soccer.
Goalkeeper training :
There is also a specific training program for goalkeepers. They will work on saves, diving, crosses and balls in the air, technique and distribution, and positioning. The specific sessions mean that specialised goalkeeper coaches will be giving all the goalkeepers invaluable advice.
Coaches and coaching method
ICEF provide the best-in-class European methodology, and coaching through an expert youth development staff, who are all FFF and/or UEFA licensed.
Staff and activities
There will be time for relaxing and recovering thanks to fun and laid back group activities. They are essential to disconnect from soccer a little bit and to clear their minds. Generally, it is these little group activities that help create a proper team spirit and team cohesion.
For those who need it, medical care at the medical center is included in the program so that every player can recover and receive care if necessary.
No excursions are scheduled. The camp is 100% soccer !
Typical day
This program is for guidance only. It may change each week.
