Team
This program is specifically designed to meet your team needs. We achieve this via a pre-game analysis of your team and consultation with your coach prior to the camp week. Our assessment will show us your teams strengths and weaknesses, enabling us to provide the most rewarding week possible.

We focus on functional coaching, transitional-play, positional responsibilities, team tactics and set plays. Attention is give to systems of play, fitness and team communication. Individual technical ability is a very important aspect of any team program and we incorporate this into the various team concepts.
At the end of the week each player will receive an individual evaluation and the coach will receive a team assessment. This is a great opportunity to give your team the best possible "kick-off" to the upcoming season with more than 30 hours of quality pre season instruction.

Once the week is over we are able to offer further reinforcement and development through our year round consultancy program; thereby extending the camp week and enabling you team to continue their accelerated growth.
