This past week, the MNUFC Development Academy hosted its first ever Elite Development Camp. Youth Program Technical Coordinator Joe Burger and other talented coaches led four days of intense training for kids ages 9–18 at the National Sports Center in Blaine. The camp included instruction on defensive principles, a focus on sharpening attacking skills and collaboration with teammates in small- and large-sided games.
When asked about his purpose for this camp, Burger said, “We are trying to give [the campers] ideas and techniques that will allow them to excel and take their game back to their club or help them in whatever their ambitions are.
