From late June to early August, our Campus in France became a global hub for ambitious young footballers, welcoming new waves of talent each week. This summer, we proudly offered an extensive seven-week program, a testament to the growing demand and popularity of our camps Whether extending their stay for multiple weeks or opting for shorter stints, the dynamic atmosphere offered our PSG Academy Pro coaches the chance to work with new groups of players all summer. By seamlessly integrating data-driven technology with expert coaching, our Pro Summer Camps delivered a truly elite football program with authentic PSG values.
Leveraging Technology for Precision and Growth
Throughout the summer, our Pro Summer Camps took full advantage of cutting-edge technology to elevate the training experience. GPS data tracking was a key tool in monitoring player performance, offering detailed insights into their physical output. Video-recorded matches were another essential component, offering memories for both players and parents to analyze.
Mixing data and our coach’s observations, players received personalized assessments that rated various aspects of their play at the end of each week. Reports included tactical awareness, technical skills, physical conditioning, and other key attributes closely tied to the PSG methodology. Receiving a score provided a clear picture of each player’s performance and gave them concrete areas to focus on as they continue training.
A Word from Our Technical Director
Reflecting on the success of this year’s summer camps, Sebastien Kaercher, our Technical Director, shared his thoughts on what made this summer truly exceptional. ” We had the privilege of working with over 400 players representing 46 different nationalities, fostering a diverse and enriching environment that reflects the international presence of PSG. The training schedule was intensive, and the enthusiasm and dedication of the players were truly inspiring.”
He added, “Our camps aren’t just about refining skills—they’re about fostering a community of young athletes who are passionate about the game. The diversity of our participants added a unique dynamic to the training sessions, pushing everyone to learn from the coaches but also from each other.”
Opportunities Beyond the Camps
For many of our players, the summer camps were just the beginning. The best performers will be invited to participate in the prestigious Final 44 Week, where the top talents from PSG Academy Pro USA and Pro Greater Geneva camps will come together in 2025. This event is more than just a showcase; it’s an opportunity for these young athletes to experience a focused and elite football program, and potentially secure a place in our 10-month residency program.
We’re thrilled to welcome back camp players as early as September, as they’ve committed to the 10-month program. Their decision speaks volumes about the quality of training and the unique environment we’ve cultivated at PSG Academy Pro in Greater Geneva.
We’re immensely grateful for the incredible summer we’ve shared and are now looking forward to our full-capacity 2024-2025 season.
