The AC Milan Summer Soccer Camp training program is designed by professional coaches. In fact, some of the coaches who design the program have also played professionally for AC Milan in the past.

The objective of these camps is to improve the skills of each participant and also to make sure each participant enjoys a complete, international summer soccer camp experience. The program is designed for young soccer players who play at an intermediate level.

During the first few days of camp, participants are evaluated based on their age, physical fitness, and skill level so that they can be placed into age-appropriate and level-appropriate training groups. A coordinator evaluates the physical condition of the students each day to determine exactly what kind of training program they’ll follow on that particular day.

Training is based on three key areas: technical and tactical improvement, athletic development, and psychological development. Participants train for about 20 hours per week. However, if the coordinator determines that the students need rest, they’ll spend less time on the field that day and more time doing exercises to speed up their recovery.

Each age group participates in different age-appropriate training exercises.

• Ages 7 to 9 – Ball skills, dribbling, and shooting
• Ages 10 to 13 – Ball skills, technical and tactical skills, 3v2 or 2v1 skills, zone defense, positioning with and without the ball)
• Ages 14 to 17 – All aspects of technical and tactical training
