The Youth Academy training camp got underway for the second season in succession. Dozens of kids aged between 8 and 15 began the first of the two-week-camp. The day of the young players began with a training session on the Kiryat Shalom pitch before taking part in a video session with the department’s analysts.
During the camp the players will continue participating in professional training sessions as well as holding meetings with a mental coach, a nutritionist, members of the medical staff etc.
Maccabi’s Under 17’s coach Ori David, who manages the training camp, said: “After a lot of preparations and hard work, we opened the training camp for the second time. It is really exciting to see the large number of players arriving from various clubs who have a thirst for information and knowledge of football. It is also very satisfying to see young players return for the second time. The camp was opened in a highly impressive manner and I really enjoyed seeing the level of the players and not less important, the level of their commitment to learn the professional aspects of our Academy’s philosophy. We ended the day with a lecture I gave on ‘The importance of the team in football’. During the week they are expected to have several surprises both on and off the pitch”.
