U11-U15 Boys Competitive
1v1 Boys Summer Camp
July 21-24, 2025
8.30-10.00am (Mon-Thursday)
At the Pride Boys 1v1 Camp, the coaching staff will focus on a number of technical skills that are essential to compete and succeed in a 1v1 situation.
All players at the competitive level face 1v1 situations and must be able to execute successfully under game-like conditions.
Throughout the camp, players will be encouraged and challenged to perform at game speed and under game pressure.
Each day the players will focus on a number of different topics that they can go away with to train on their own.
The 1v1 situation is a critical game moment, if players win their 1v1 duel the team is more likely to win the game!
