In 2014, the Junior Football Academy Mittelhessen is once again organising a one-week "training camp" for young athletes in Garbenteich-Pohlheim - with the support of Stadtwerke Gießen. Some of the coveted places are still available.
Every young footballer dreams of one day playing in a World Cup tournament like the one in Brazil. Unfortunately, talent alone is not enough to make this wish come true. "Practice makes perfect!" The experienced coaches and trainers at the Junior Football Academy Mittelhessen know this too. They have been organising the football summer camp at the sports ground in Pohlheim-Garbenteich together with Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) for a number of years - in 2014 for the eighth time.
From 18 to 22 August, young footballers between the ages of 6 and 15 will improve their goal kicking, learn dribbling techniques and optimise their passes to teammates. The qualified, licensed coaches have prepared a special age-appropriate programme for budding goalkeepers. Daily training times: 10 am to 3 pm. Lunch and drinks are provided by Stadtwerke Gießen.
Register early and secure your place
One important thing is certainly not neglected at the summer football camp: fun. This is guaranteed by small competitions and tournaments at the end of each training day. The young athletes can playfully show what they have learnt. At the end of the football camp, all participants receive a certificate.
If you would like to take part, you should register for the popular summer football camp as early as possible - the number of participants is limited. Registration deadline: 31 July 2014. All information on registration is available from the Junior Football Academy Mittelhessen, telephone 06408 5006-993 or from Stadtwerke Gießen on 0641 708-1488. SWG also offers the registration documents for download on its website.
