BEGINNING today until Saturday August 16, Ballaz Academy will host an intensive Dutch football camp at Jamaica College.
Four coaches from the Dutch Soccer School arrived in the island on Saturday and are eager to begin working with the youth. Lead coach Roy Wilhelm has a wealth of experience in professional football. He was a coach for pro club Willem II for eight years, and has been working with PSV Eindhoven for 14 years.
Roy, who has a Dutch coaching badge, was involved in professional youth football for more than 25 years. He has directed camps in the USA, Central and South America, since 1989. He is currently with Willem ll as director of scouting and recruiting for the Academy. Wilhelm scouted Ballaz Director Andre Virtue when he was 14 years old and hosted him in the Netherlands on a stint at PSV Eindhoven.
Partnering with Ballaz in this venture are: HiLyte, Lifespan Water, Main Event, Capri Sun, Complete Marketing Solutions and JB Reggae Jammin.
Goals for the Camp:
1. Teaching technical and tactical drills for advanced youth players — addressing the technical foundation of each player.
2. Teaching them to do, when to do it and how to do it at the speed technically required by the modern game. Thinking the game -- playing smart.
3. Emphasis on small-sided games so that players experience a training environment that replicates the real game.
4. Thorough assessment and evaluation of the players — quickness, technical ability, tactical awareness, attitude. Where am I and what do I do to improve?
