2015 Summer soccer camp-The lessons learnt

Soccer camps are a great way to improve your skills, get some exercise, and make memories with friends. However, not all soccer camps are created equal, no matter what the paperwork says, a review of our 2015 soccer camp shows the following.

The soccer camp you choose should depend on what you want to get out of the experience. Somebody who just wants to get away for a week and play a little soccer wouldn't get that experience at a camp that focuses on intensive training. Before you sign away your time and money, ask yourself a few questions about what you want from a soccer camp.

Do you want to goof off with your friends, or get in shape?
If you'd like to get in better shape for soccer or other sports, look for camps that put an emphasis on physical training and conditioning. Make sure you get a physical to verify that you're in good shape for the camp.

However, if you just want to have fun and make some memories with your friends, look for a cheaper camp that's not as intense.


Do you want to improve your basic skills, or do you want more than that?
Getting better at basic skills may sound like something you can get at any soccer camp, but getting them perfect is something that takes time, dedication, patience and a lot of correction to learn. Look for a camp with lots of coaches who will take the time to correct your problems.

On the other hand, if you'd like to improve your tactical sense, like when to pass and shoot and where to move, it's a good idea to look into longer camps or even soccer boarding schools. Tactics aren't something that can be easily taught, and they take a lot of time and mistakes to learn.

Are you looking for more than just soccer training?
If you'd like to get a little more out of camp than just soccer training, then see what else they offer. Some soccer camps combine a cultural experience abroad with soccer training, and some even offer the chance for exceptional players to try out for professional teams. Do a little research into the camps to find out what else you'll be getting out of them.

Find the right camp for you
Keep in mind that all intensive soccer camps should provide four aspects of skill development: strength and conditioning, technical precision, tactical development and sport psychology coaching. By taking a little time to research the other aspects of the camp, you'll find just the one you need to make your experience fun, beneficial and memorable.

Our mission is to provide intensive soccer development training programs that also teach youngsters about cultural diversity and foreign languages. As professionals, soccer fanatics and fathers, the Fc Joker team wanted to create a program that maximized the youths' time abroad; instilling a sense of independence and pride through experiencing international travel, structured language study, cultural excursions and daily professional soccer training. These are some of the values that were learnt by the set of teams that participated in the 2015 edition, in the next year's edition we propose to invite teams from Africa and  America.-visit: www.jokerfc.com about details of the 2016 summer camp
