All of our camps are based on the Barça methodology which includes a creative and attacking brand of football as well as the promotion of positive values such as respect, effort, ambition, teamwork and sportsmanship.

Test selection will be done in conjunction with the sport coaching staff to identify the appropriate tests for the age, training level, and team programming purposes.

WORSKSHOPS NUTRITIONAL WORKSHOP (1x) Ashley Charlebois, Registered Dietitian, will discuss what to eat on a daily basis to keep up with the training demands of a young soccer athlete. She will also cover sport specifics such as what and when to eat before, during and after practices and games for optimal health and performance. Ashley will provide practical examples of healthy meals and snacks, so that you know how to put it into action. TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOP (1x) As a result of participating in this workshop, athletes on a team will have a better understanding of the need to work as a cohesive unit to accomplish team goals and will examine their approach to excellence. Topics covered in this workshop include preparing for success, embracing the pressure, trusting your instincts, effective goal-setting, perseverance in difficult situations and leadership skills. Application of these skills to areas outside of athletics is reinforced throughout the presentation.
