COACHING

The coaching team create a high-energy and fun training environment that motivates and inspires players to reach their full potential. Suitable for players at any experience level, coaches challenge players to develop and refine technical skills including passing, setting, serving, hitting, blocking and defensive/offensive strategies. Fitness and conditioning drills are used to improve footwork, balance and speed.

Workshops + Recovery

Players follow a series of interactive workshops and recovery activities throughout the camp. Workshops introduce a range of topics designed to give a broader view and better understanding of athletic performance and what it takes to succeed in sports. Recovery exercises, such as yoga, help players manage the workload of two training sessions each day.

English

Classes focus on sport, engaging students’ passion for the subject to promote language learning in a fun and interactive environment. Using the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model of English, qualified teachers infuse language learning into lively and active classes where sports-based projects, discussions and activities take centre stage. Teachers guide students to improve their verbal communication skills while discussing legendary players, interviewing coaches, or writing and speaking their own commentary. Learning is supported by English teachers living on-site and English is spoken at all times throughout the camp, creating an immersive learning environment. 

Results

Players develop new skills and improve on existing techniques as well as learning what it’s like to be an elite athlete. Coaches share their own experiences about what it takes to raise your game to the highest level and equip players with a better understanding of the game and how to continue to progress at home. Each player receives an individual coaching review and a certificate to take home. Players join this programme from around the world creating a rich cultural experience and forging great friendships and memories.
