FootHolde Winter Clinics '08-09
Looking to improve your skills over the off-season? Looking for a high-level training environment in the winter with committed players who want to work hard AND have fun?

FootHolde's Elite Training Program
FootHolde Minnesota soccer camps are based on 4 key components:
- Technical - This refers to a player's ability to perform specific mechanical movements such as dribbling, kicking, trapping or throwing the ball. An experienced player is clean and precise with the ball, moves efficiently, and is confident and composed with the ball at his/her feet.
- Tactical - Inidividual Decision Making with the Ball, Movement off the Ball, Attacking & Defending Principles, and other nuances of the game to help them gain an advantage.
- Physical - Focuses on building Speed, Strength, Agility, and Power.
- Psychological - Competitive, Challenging, Fun!
FootHolde Minnesota Soccer Camps Train The Top State Soccer Players
FootHolde Select has been training hundreds of Minnesota's top players each summer since it started in 2003. The Select camps trained almost 250 players during the summer of 2007, with the majority of these players playing at the highest level within their competitive age groups. The Select staff is comprised of a group of some of the best coaches in Minnesota, who aim to provide the best environment for player development at all ages. In 2008, FootHolde Select will add an "elite" division for premier (and the C1 at U12 and U13) level. These Minnesota soccer camps also provide a quality training environment for committed C1, C2, and C3 players looking to improve their skills, strength, and speed to play at the next level.
FootHolde's Competitive Edge
Rather than spending $500+ to train at a soccer camp outside the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, FootHolde athletes will receive a more intensive training curriculum, meet some of the best players in Minnesota and train with some of the most qualified and influential coaches in the Twin Cities. In addition, FootHolde focuses on quality soccer camps as opposed to quantity. Unlike other Minnesota soccer camps that run 50-100 camps each year, FootHolde focuses on a high-level training environment in a limited amount of camp weeks to reward each player with a positive experience (and feedback) and the tools to increase confidence and bring one's game to the next level.
