During the summer of 2010 Manchester United Soccer Schools will be running a full eight weeks of residential courses in England. For boys and girls, aged 8-18 years, each course type has been specifically developed to meet the needs of the individual players within their chosen age group. Junior: 8-11 years This focuses on teaching the fundamental techniques of the game and showing players how to master these skills. Tailor-made for junior players with a fun and friendly atmosphere, players live and breathe the game for a week. Players will learn how to play like their United heroes. Senior: 12-16 years An intensive course designed to take the players to the next level by improving their technique but also developing their understanding of team shape, defensive responsibilities and attacking principles using the Manchester United philosophy. Girls: 8-18 years Girls from all over the world can enjoy taking their soccer development to a new level. The course focuses on the technical, tactical, physical, mental and social elements of the game and follows the fundamental elements of Manchester United coaching philosophy. This course will help girls striving to reach their peak performance. Goalkeepers: 8-16 years The goalkeeper course focuses on the technical, tactical, physical, mental and social elements of the game, developing players as individuals within 1v1 situations, as well as gaining an understanding of working as a team both in defensive and attacking situations. The sessions look at positional sense, communication, handling, footwork, distribution, crosses, organisational skills, kicking, agility and flexibility. Youth: 17-18 years An advanced, intensive course gives older players a valuable insight into the opportunities that arise by staying in the game. As well as experiencing how Manchester United prepare their youth players for that next step, our staff help the players create a vision of how they can progress within the game and the opportunities in football such as coaching, sports science and nutrition.
