CHALLENGING SESSIONS
To enhance the development of the player and the team, the Massachusetts Soccer Academy (MSA) combines a strong emphasis on individual skills along with advanced team tactics. In the morning, field players will receive training in the techniques of finishing, passing, dribbling, and general ball control. Individual creativity is encouraged among our campers in order to develop confidence and a more positive attitude toward the game of soccer. The afternoon schedule concentrates on tactical development culminating in full field 11v11 matches and a tournament involving all the participants. In addition to field instruction, the Massachusetts Soccer Academy (MSA) provides an opportunity to better understand soccer skills and tactics through a series of lectures, question and answer sessions, and the latest in world class films and videos.
