I. Pre Season Team Camp

A preseason team camp is an integral part of the Future Pros program.  In a preseason camp (typically held in August) the team spends a minimum of 2 hours per day preparing for the demands of the season.  This allows the team, coach and Future Pros staff member to work in concert identifying and correcting deficiencies in individual and team play.  Teams that do not conduct a preseason camp cannot be expected to perform to their highest standard  at the start of the season or more importantly at a seeding tournament.  A Future Pros team camp is an important step towards a successful season.  More economical than attending camp as an individual, the cost of a team camp is much lower as the team is charged per week rather than per player.  On a team of 15 players the cost of a preseason camp averages under $50 per player!

II. Team Training

Future Pros has been known as Chicagoland's Premier training organization for the past 15 years.  The continuing international exposure of our program directors coupled with the quality and retention of our staff is second to none.  Future Pros is proud to offer high quality training to teams of all ages and levels of play.

Depending on the duration of each session, the number of sessions per week and the level of the team, the Future Pros trainer will design a training program to address the specific needs of the team.

Sample Training

• Week Two (U14 Boys)
• Previous game 2-1 Win
• Game observations for week's sessions:
  • Team caught offsides numerous times.
  • Inability to finish.
  • Lack of width in attack
• Session Duration: 1½ hours
• Frequency: Twice per week
• Session One: Post Game Session - Technical Training, Review of previous game. Focus on deficiencies in individual and team play as identified in previous game.
  • Technical Focus: Finishing.
• Session Two: Pre Game Session - Tactical Training, Preparation for upcoming game. Tactical Focus:
  • Quick creation and maintenance of width through overlapping runs when the ball is won.
  • The ability to recognize penetrating runs by the strikers and play a through ball to space before strikers are in an offside position.  Last game we were offsides several times due to the inability to release the ball from midfield rather than through the fault of the strikers.  Better timing must be achieved between penetrating runs and the release of through balls.
