Program Details:

U7-U11 teams: During four the 90-minute sessions, players will focus on ball mastery and overall technique, as well as small-sided games.

  • U12-14 teams: The format consists of six 90-minute sessions. During each session, teams will be divided into three groups and will spend 30 minutes of OAP and 60 minutes with their coaches on a rotational basis.
  • U15-18 teams: The format consists of six 90-minute sessions. During each session, teams will be divided into two groups and will spend 45 minutes of OAP and 45 minutes with their coaches on a rotational basis.
  • Goalkeepers: These players will participate in progressive specialized training, balancing their time between keeper training and team tactical sessions.
