This is the first ever Liverpool camp held for international children at “The Academy”. The camp focused on technical training to help develop TABS – ‘Technique’, ‘Attitude’, ‘Balance’ and ‘Speed’. Gary Lewis, Liverpool U15 coach and UEFA A license coach did a special session for the campers to develop awareness on the pitch. Coach Darren did a session on SAQ and the use of specialized equipments such as parachutes & resistant chords to help build power, speed and balance.

The training was conducted every day on the astro-turf pitches both indoor as well as outdoor.

 

The campers trained in Liverpool kit, got a tour of Anfield stadium and museum. They were treated to lunch at “The Boot Room” inside Anfield. The following day they were taken to Anfield for an interactive session at Reducate and a chance to pose with the UEFA Champions League Trophy won for the 5th time by Liverpool.

 

The children had a surprise visit by Liverpool Academy graduate and now Liverpool player John Flanigan. The children had lots of questions for him and learnt a lot about being a professional player with regard to his discipline, training and diet.

On the Sunday the campers were treated to an amusement park – Alton Towers.

On penultimate day the children visited Old Trafford and were later invited to lunch at Jamie Carraghers restaurant in Liverpool – “Café Sports England”. Later in the evening the boys played a friendly match against the local side form Runcorn
