The Premier Position camp is aimed at developing players both technically and tactically whilst being trained functionally to the requirements of their position. Training will include decision making with and without the ball in both pressurized and non pressurized environments.

The program will take the players through an in-depth individual understanding of their position and develop it into game realistic scenarios. All three curricula will provide live game situations to challenge and develop the player's tactical knowledge.

The three curricula are:

• 'Defender 101'

• 'Striker School'

• 'Keeper Clinic'.
