Philosophy/Camp Programme
Camps
From players embarking on their footballing journey to high-performance players, the Arsenal Soccer Camps cater to all abilities while ensuring that each player develops on and off the pitch in a nurturing and enjoyable environment while learning to ‘Play the Arsenal Way.
Arsenal Football Development Philosophy/Training Programme
Our camp model is built around our Strong Young Gunner model, with 4 distinct development areas: effective team players, efficient movers, lifelong learners and champion mentality. This is the same model utilised by our academy, led by Per Mertesacker. Our coaching team is trained to tailor the model to each audience we engage with. Our Strong Young Gunner model is used throughout the club to develop young people and players. We believe it leads to holistic development and ensures young people develop life skills as well as football skills.
Each session is delivered to develop players to become the best they can be and inspire a lifelong passion for the sport. Arsenal Football Development’s training programme is based on teaching young gunners the same techniques, skills and Game IQ our academy players learn at our official Arsenal Youth Academy at Hale End and is designed to give players an understanding of what it takes to play for Arsenal.
