Campers are placed in skill appropriate situations designed to enhance both technical skills and tactical understanding of the game. Many nuances of the modern game are taught and discussed; including formation, transition and team shape.

High expectations are placed on the campers during each of the sessions. The technical/tactical training sessions are designed to replicate the FMU Soccer Team's training sessions. Campers improve their abilities through good coaching and tough competition. .

During the afternoon sessions, campers compete against one another in full-sided games. This is the time to put all of the morning lessons into a game situation. Players begin to understand the various roles each position on the field requires. The campers do all of this and still have fun!
