Organiser

The Football Holiday Camp 2013 is organised by THE BREWSTER TRUST, a registered Charity in Barbados. The trust’s mission is to promote, develop and improve football in Barbados with the aim of creating opportunities at all levels, especially for the youth. To impart the qualities of leadership, loyalty, sportsmanship, competitive ambition and the drive for academic excellence as well as discipline, fair play and respect is our ultimate goal, just as the fruitful co-operation with all national and international football stakeholders.

Three age groups

The two-weeks programmes are all about the youth. The training sessions are age group and performance related and following THE BREWSTER TRUST’s mission it is football for everyone straight from the beginner, full of fun and surprises.
Coaching in several groups – coaches are assigned to groups to encourage familiarity with the young people. The coaches will work with that same group over the course of each two-weeks.
Coaching elements will be multifarious with a daily competition based on the session, basic passing techniques developing the range and accuracy of the players, developing the players’ basic dribbling and turning techniques like dribbling at speed, slalom dribbling, dribbling with turns incorporated, control sessions and heading sessions including aerial control with the focus on using various parts of the body like feet, knees or chest, basic techniques of shooting with a development focused on shooting with various parts of the strong and the weak feet, 3 vs 2 and 4 vs 3 shooting sessions and mini matches or a tournament at the end of the two weeks. This will be followed by presentations to all players as well as “Most Outstanding Player” and “Fair Play” awards being handed out.
Besides the sessions on the field we will have classroom sessions with football as part of general literacy, indoor Futsal sessions and teaching the rules and laws of football.
We have been asked to further extend the programme, we will continue with two two-weeks programmes for the younger age groups but are able to host more children. When you register for the camp you have to choose only one group. It is possible to attend another two weeks, but only if space is available.
As a special feature we offer 2013 the age group 15+ also to integrate parents as well as senior players to the charity’s football programme.

Venue

The Football Holiday Camp is going to be held at Queen’s College, Husbands, St. James; security, drop-off and pick-up zones as well as parking will be organised; venue partner Queen’s College will provide changing rooms, class rooms, toilets and bathrooms – and of course a “lost and found”. We don’t want to miss to thank Principal Dr. Browne and his team for the hospitality and the generous support.

Lunch, snack & drinks

Mens sana in corpore sano – a healthy mind in a healthy body.
THE BREWSTER TRUST developed a special meal plan for the Football Holiday Camp 2013 with typical football food like vegetable rice, spaghetti, baked fish, steamed vegetables, salads and juices for lunch with fruit breaks between the sessions or healthy snacks for the evening sessions.
Camp Partner Barbados Bottling Company takes care of appropriate beverages like isotonic POWERade.
Another innovation 2013 is our camp village – the meeting point during the programme – including the “Oasis” with bottle filling stations and water coolers.

Insurance coverage

For every registered participant THE BREWSTER TRUST is contracting insurance cover with a special sport package for the duration of the camp.

Campers just need football boots, but most important is to be motivated and to have fun. Every participant receives a shirt, short, socks, shinpads and a cap – all supplied by THE BREWSTER TRUST in close co-operation with PUMA.
