WSC Boy’s Team Residential Academy (Ages 14 – 18)
Bring your entire team and ‘kick-start’ the season. We encourage teams to enroll early so as to reserve a spot. The WSC is one of the nation’s leaders in the team concept and has provided the ideal springboard for a successful season to hundreds of teams over the years. High school coaches will have a chance to communicate with the WSC camp staff. After camp finishes high school coaches will receive an evaluation on individual players as well as the entire team. 15 players including a GK are needed to enroll for the WSC Team Pre-Season Academy.
(LIMITED to the first 12 teams.)
Coaching Concepts:
- Advanced individual technique
- Team tactics
- Small group tactics
- Set-plays
CHALLENGING SESSIONS
To enhance the development of the player and the team, the WSC combines a strong emphasis on individual skills along with advanced team tactics. In the morning, field players will receive training in the techniques of finishing, passing, dribbling, and general ball control. Individual creativity is encouraged among our campers in order to develop confidence and a more positive attitude toward the game of soccer. The afternoon schedule concentrates on tactical development culminating in full field 11v11 matches and a tournament involving all the participants. In addition to field instruction, the WSC provides an opportunity to better understand soccer skills and tactics through a series of lectures, question and answer sessions, and the latest in world class films and videos.
