Team Camps - Whether your team is Competitive, Recreational, Intramural, Travel, Select, Premier, College or Professional, B.E.S.T. Team Camps can be structured around the needs of YOUR team and will raise your level of playing success.

A third of each session is dedicated to the individual needs of each team member in a technical Aerobic and Anaerobic training program designed and mastered by B.E.S.T. and widely regarded as one of the most effective Youth training programs throughout Europe and the United States.

The remainder of each session will cover all the needs of being a team player from positional play, to formations, defensive third, through to the attacking third, combination plays, principles of attack and defense, 1v1 attack, marking and closing players down through man-to-man and zone defending, support & off-ball movement, developing team speed in attack: receiving and passing quickly to create space in width and depth, pressure, cover, balance, reading the field, vision and anticipation, communication, and individual tactical responsibilities.

Every aspect will be covered in this intense and tactical training that will have every team player comfortable with the role that they are expected to play for the team.

B.E.S.T. can help your team become a WINNING TEAM!

Individual & Small Group Camps - private or small group training sessions for players seeking accelerated progress in their skills such as fast footwork, passing, receiving under pressure, tackling, shooting, heading, volleying, finishing, turning, creativity with the ball, etc.

Individual skill development is sometimes most effective when a player has the opportunity for one-on-one instruction. Our trainers are experts who can immediately assess skill development needs and provide the targeted instruction to meet those specific needs. This level of training may make the significant difference in the successes you seek to achieve. Sessions can focus on areas requiring technical development, improve the all-round game, or event preparation such as a Club or ODP try-outs.

The benefits of one-to-one, or very small group numbers include:

• Concentration of coaches attention on one player
• Constant feedback and support
• Appropriate level of the sessions that will always be specific to the needs of the player
• Opportunity for rapid learning and player development
• More opportunity for communication between coach and player

Typically, we offer a number of these sessions as a package, addressing a specific playing need or working toward an event such as a try-out.
