Foot Lab camp Crans-Montana 5 days/4 nights

NEW !

IIL Camps is delighted to offer football enthusiasts this FOOT LAB camp, one of the best youth football camps in Europe. This camp is aimed at girls and boys aged 8 to 15, whatever their level.  

The programme includes 5 full days of intensive, structured football practice using the renowned FOOT LAB methodology, which focuses on individual development and fluidity of movement.

In a unique environment in Crans-Montana, in the heart of the Swiss Alps, young sportsmen and women will practise and tackle different aspects of the game, such as :

• the ability to create space for themselves (with or without the ball) and to interpret different situations
• developing individual technique and tactics
• the ability to deal with the unexpected in complex situations

In addition to the training sessions, part of the programme will be devoted to more theoretical and educational aspects, such as :

• video analysis of technical moves
• managing emotions
• health: injury prevention, importance of sleep, nutritional advice, etc.

Youngsters will be supervised by qualified coaches from training centres. Training will take place from Monday 9am to Friday 4pm.

Children will also be able to take part in a range of activities and games other than football (swimming pool, billiards, table tennis, mini golf, beach soccer). They will be supervised by qualified, BAFA-certified activity leaders. Themed evenings are also on the programme.

Throughout the week, children will benefit from technical expertise and individual, personalised assessment based on key criteria specific to football. The aim is to help them improve their technical skills and decision-making, while having fun and playing in a multicultural environment.

Campers will be staying at the 3-star SUP La Prairie hotel (www.prairie.ch), where they will enjoy top-quality hospitality.
