International Soccer Camps

The popularity of soccer has grown steadily in the United States and the rest of the world is keen to take them on! The International Soccer Camps company was set up by two experts in the sport. These Directors of Coaching are from England and they settled in the US. They have been spreading the message on how great this sport is through their camps.

The company organizes camps all over the world and has recently been introduced to Africa. The first camp in Nigeria took place in June 2008. The idea behind the International Soccer Camps is to hold training sessions with young players and to help to train coaches. If a player shows promise, ISC will help him or her to progress to a training academy in a professional club.

Competition for places in professional squads is fierce and young players need all the guidance they can get. The camp coaches have a program to improve the technical ability of players and to train them in tactics. Ability on the ball and field of vision are just two areas where coaches can bring their expertise. The International Soccer Camps staff will visit an academy or club if requested and train with the players and coaching staff. Coaches from Asian and European countries will be trained in American methods of soccer coaching.

There are various kinds of camps on offer. Group Camps, individual sessions, team camps, and school groups are all catered for. The staff coaches have a depth of experience, second to none. They have all worked at professional level and come from all across the world, including England, Germany, Japan, Canada and Australia. Every coach has had the opportunity to work with national team players and have had training sessions with top clubs such as PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United, Lazio and Perugia.

The regular coaching staff is assisted by a pool of guest coaches. These are male and female coaches from several different countries that enjoy working with young people and passing on their skills. As the standards of US club soccer improves, the national squad will reap the benefits and start to challenge the world's top countries. America has the stadium facilities and the marketing know how.

The addition of organizations like International Soccer Camps will help to motivate everyone that loves the sport. Both male and female players can improve on the basics and gain a more sophisticated knowledge of the tactical side to the game. Coaching sessions at the camps help forwards, defenders and goalkeepers. Taking corners, free kicks and penalties are all aspects that are worked on. Keeping position, man marking and ball distribution are also a part of the training. Fitness and nutrition is also looked in to. It's good news for the players, coaches, and fans of the beautiful game.
