Blankendal continued, “Under 5 - Under 8 players were introduced to; various listening/thinking games, challenging technical football skills and a brief intro into Brazilian Futbol de Salao with the size 2 ball”.

Blankendal went on to say, “The Under 9 – Under 16 players continued to work on improving their individual goals such as; control with the inside/outside of the foot, juggling, various Brazilian stepovers and showcased their new skills in various games outdoors”.

“Today all the players will review all of the; passing, juggling, dribbling and technical skills they have learned thus far. Tomorrow they will be assessed on the progress they have made during the 5 day camp. There will be a special closing out camp ceremony starting at 4 pm tomorrow. We have asked all parents/guardians (and players) to bring your cameras”, concluded Blankendal.
