The program aims to provide children with a stimulating extracurricular experience, promote their love for football, and offer potential pathways to becoming Juventus Academy Nigeria players. With a focus on inclusivity and skill development, the program promises to create a positive and memorable experience for all participants.
Leading the charge is Muhammed Yussuf, a seasoned UEFA B licensed coach with extensive experience coaching young footballers.
Having worked with esteemed organizations such as Barça Academy Lagos and Juventus Academy Nigeria, Yussuf brings a wealth of expertise to the summer program.
Speaking to Sports 247, Yussuf who is Head Coach of the Juventus Academy Nigeria, said the Academy’s motivation for organizing summer programs stems from recognizing the need for engaging activities during the summer break.
“With academic and extracurricular commitments temporarily on hold, children often find themselves spending more time indoors. The summer camps aim to combat this trend by providing a holistic experience that keeps young minds and bodies active, ensuring participants return to school after the break feeling rejuvenated”. He speaks.
The key objectives and goals of the summer program are multifaceted. First and foremost, it aims to engage participants in a comprehensive extracurricular activity that sharpens their mental and physical abilities.
Through football, the program seeks to foster a love for sports and exercise among the participants.
Additionally, the program doubles as a talent scouting opportunity, with Juventus Academy Nigeria coaches on the lookout for promising young players.
To create a positive and inclusive environment, the training sessions will be tailored to suit varying abilities, ensuring that every participant benefits from the program.
The sessions will be designed to be enjoyable and age-specific, allowing children to learn and develop their skills in a supportive atmosphere.
Furthermore, highly skilled coaches trained in the Juventus methodology will oversee the participants, guaranteeing top-quality guidance and mentorship.
The program will prioritize the development of specific skills and techniques vital to a young player’s growth.
Ball mastery will be a key focus, instilling confidence in participants when in possession of the ball. Moreover, 1v1 attacking and defending skills, as well as set-pieces, will be emphasized, providing a comprehensive foundation for their overall game.
To make the program truly unforgettable, a surprise star guest, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, will make an appearance at one of the Juventus centers.
This guest will train with the children, leaving a lasting impression and further igniting their passion for the sport.
Additionally, a memorable closing ceremony featuring fun contests across all centers will serve as a grand finale to the program, ensuring participants walk away with cherished memories.
The Juventus Academy Nigeria summer program has attracted the attention of professional players and special guests, although their identities are yet to be revealed.
This interaction with established professionals offers participants a unique opportunity to learn from those who have achieved success in the world of football.
For aspiring young players, the program offers long-term aspirations and potential pathways for growth.
Notably, talented individuals will have the chance to be scouted by Juventus Academy coaches, opening doors to further opportunities and potential scholarships.
