Covid-19 came into the world like a tornado and the soccer world was not spared. <\/strong>While professional soccer has been allowed to return in specific conditions (players and staff members systematically tested, very strict protocols within the stadiums and no fans), amateur soccer has known a deeper crisis, as it has been at a standstill in almost every country in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Amateur soccer in slow motion for the Men\u2019s teams<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After being completely stopped when the pandemic arrived, amateur soccer has started up again very slowly. No competition is allowed during the Covid-19 period<\/strong> so the thousands of amateur players can only train, if that. One main part of soccer is physical contact, something that is banned during Covid-19, making it very difficult. In theory, the coaches, limited by the curfews, must organise technical, tactical and physical training without opposition. The management of the pandemic remains the main priority for all countries and the clubs must respect this to avoid further spreading the virus. For coaches, the task is to adapt the training sessions while still making them worthwhile for the adult players, despite the fact that in the vast majority of cases, they just have one training session a week with no games at the weekend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

No contact, no competition, a curfew making it very difficult to get to training after work and no changing rooms for over a year, the Men\u2019s teams are struggling and it seems inevitable that the number of licensed players will go down next year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hope for soccer schools<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The situation is completely different for soccer schools, and consequently, for <\/strong>soccer camps<\/strong><\/a>. <\/strong>Indeed, kids are used to training during the day in limited groups. Training sessions have therefore been allowed to return quite quickly despite the Coronavirus, of course with adapted sanitary measures, but their soccer has not significantly changed. Furthermore, they are considered non transmitters of the virus which allows countries to quickly reopen soccer for young players.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tous les clubs se sont adapt\u00e9s et sont maintenant capable de proposer des stages de football<\/strong> dans le respect des r\u00e8gles sanitaires. C\u2019est un v\u00e9ritable bonheur pour les parents et surtout pour les enfants. Une bouff\u00e9e d\u2019oxyg\u00e8ne de savoir qu\u2019ils pourront passer une semaine de stage de football dans les plus grands clubs d\u2019Europe<\/a> tout en sachant que leur sant\u00e9 et leur s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sont garantis. All the clubs have adapted and are now capable of offering soccer camps<\/strong> while respecting health and safety rules. It is great news for parents, but even better news for the kids ! Knowing that they can spend a week at their dream soccer camp at one of the biggest clubs in Europe<\/a> all while their safety and security is guaranteed is a real breath of fresh air.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The golden rules applied to all our camps during Covid-19<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2022, most clubs offering soccer camps for kids have put in place sanitary procedures so as to be allowed to organise their camps all while guaranteeing the safety of the kids. <\/strong>To answer to the Coronavirus, the clubs put in place similar measures :<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
