Help me understand the Summer Academy Part I.
Date Posted: 4/19/2023
We get a ton of questions regarding our Summer Academy. What is it? How does it work? Is it a camp? Well, let us explain.
The Summer Academy is a program that started in 2003. It was developed by Director and Founder Efrain Tirado from his experience working with players at various traditional summer camps. He noticed that players would work hard for a few days and then go home to do little or nothing. There was no reinforcement of the lessons and skills learned during camp week. It would be several weeks before a player would touch a ball in a serious training environment.
We have established a strong player development platform. The Summer Academy program has borrowed much from the world-famous Tahuichi Soccer Academy in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. At Tahuichi training blocks of instruction are 3 hours five days a week. We are asking players to make a minimum of three sessions per week. Players will work 9 hours a week minimum. Players may attend sessions at any of our 3 training centers. Please note that once a player is registered they can attend sessions during any ten weeks. We ask that players commit to a minimum of four weeks(You choose the weeks. they do not have to be consecutive.). We ask that based on knowing that consistent positive and challenging training will accelerate a player's development.
The program is focused on improving the following areas:
- Speed, Agility, and Quickness with and without the ball.
- Upper and lower body strength.
- Core
- Technical ability
- Vision
- Decision making
