The children arrive at the camp selected by them on Sunday. They are immediately assigned an Adidas-Milan kit, so they can arrive properly fitted out at the field for their first afternoon training.This training is mainly to introduce them to their coaches and give them their first instructions on the rules of the camp and the behavior expected of them.
On Friday evening, the last evening in camp, there is a party with parents where they can see the videocassette made during the week.Copies of the video are available at a modest price.
Saturday morning is the final intramural tournament; the camp ends at noon after certificates of participation are distributed and cups and medals awarded to players and teams showing exception skills on the individual and group levels.
Finally a special fair-play award is given to the camper that has shown the best game and team behavior.
A typical program for the MJC includes two training sessions per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each session is two hours long. The rest of the day is taken up by entertainment and recreational activities (TV room, group play, karaoke, minigolf, ice skating when possible, swimming when possible, etc.)
A typical day, in short, would be:
08.00: wake up
08.30: breakfast
09.30: field (technical training)
11.30: shower and return to the house
12.30: lunch
13.30: free time for games, play, relaxation;
15.30: field (training and games) or beach*
18.00: shower and return to the house
19.30: supper
20.30: evening entertainment (or at the field*)
22.30: lights out
* Schedules for beach areas such as Medulin (Pola/Croatia) and Jesolo Lido may provide for evening training. Those afternoons the group may go to the beach.
The DAY CAMP formula will apply.In this case the camper does not stay overnight in the hotel, which is frequently the case of somebody residing in the town where the MJC is held. The camper arrives at the hotel every morning.He then leaves for the soccer field with the rest of the group and returns to the hotel after showering after the second training held in the afternoon or evening. |
