Planning a training camp can be the decisive factor for your team's success. Whether you're an experienced coach or a committed newcomer - well thought-out training camp planning offers your team the perfect opportunity to prepare optimally, strengthen the community and set new impulses for the season. In this article, we'll show you what's important when planning and how you can get the most out of your training camp.
Why a training camp?
There are numerous reasons why training camp planning should be a central part of your work as a coach. Perhaps you've been planning a training camp for years because it helps your team progress in many ways. Or maybe you've just taken over responsibility for a new team and want to get the most out of the season with fresh energy. Whether it's tried and tested or new territory, a training camp can take your team to a new level and help you achieve your sporting goals.
Organizers and travel agencies: who offers what?
A quick online search will show you that there are plenty of providers for soccer training camps. But beware! Many supposed specialists turn out to be pure travel agencies that simply sell on ready-made offers from tour operators at a high price. The result: additional costs that are ultimately borne by you or your club. Alternatively, you can find hotels that offer group trips - but here you will usually only receive an unspecific offer that is rarely tailored to the special needs of a soccer team. However, well thought-out training camp planning should include more than just an advertising brochure.
Search engine results: What should you look out for?
During your research, you will come across two types of search results: organic results and paid advertisements. The latter are often placed by providers whose relevance is considered to be rather low. Organic results, on the other hand, usually come from proven specialists. Take the time to check the offers thoroughly - a good provider is not convincing through marketing tricks, but through expertise and experience.
Specialists, generalists and dilettantes: the subtle difference
Not all training camp providers are the same. Some, like us, specialize exclusively in training camp planning and have extensive know-how and a passion for soccer. Others only offer training camps as a supplement to classic travel packages. And then there are providers who simply lack experience or expertise. Our tip: Go for specialists! Ask specifically about details such as the quality of the pitches, the training conditions or the supporting programme. An experienced provider knows the destinations personally and will give you sound information - exactly what you need to plan a successful training camp.
