CAMP DETAILS

"Our FFA Training Camps have been the hallmark of our approach, allowing all players under the guidance of our qualified coaches to spend entire days experimenting the methodology of our program, and a designed curriculum strictly build around the player and his complete development.

Our camps, through a variety of activities & tests both on and off the field, and a longer time format, push our players to develop at a much faster pace their hard skills, from technical, to tactical and physical (all data-driven based on specific player's age), and also evolve on their soft skills with our psycho-social challenges."
