The AC Milan Academy Camp
also known as Milan Junior Camp (MJC)
is the children's summer vacation soccer camp organized by the famous AC Milan
football club from
the Italian Serie A League and carried out by local organizations
(Sporteventi is the selected soccer camp manager).
The soccer training sessions, depending on your site, will be lead by AC
Milan soccer legends, in cooperation with Sporteventi coaches, such as Pierino Prati (Manager of one AC Milan
top Soccer School in Milan), Gino Maldera (Manager of one AC Milan top Soccer School
in Milan), Fulvio Florin and Filippo Galli (AC Milan Youth Department Manager, see photos with
Ancelotti,
Tassoti and David
Beckham during AC Milan practices at Milanello training center in
Milan) known as
the
AC Milan supervisors
and supervised by Otello Di Remigio, official youth scout of AC Milan
Youth teams and Sporteventi coach.

The person in charge of all Sporteventi coaches is Otello Di
Remigio, an official scout for
AC Milan Youth Side;
he is also in charge of the relations between the youth teams that the
club “Liventina Gorghense” coordinates (more than 20) and the AC Milan
Youth side.
The camp is not a soccer camp full of rigid training
exercises, nor is it designed to immediately produce champions. It is a
soccer camp designed for having fun and playing with the other boys, a soccer camp spent learning to respect each other
and learn new skills.
It is an important time to stimulate soccer players sense of
responsibility and to learn the important value of rules and education.
Last year (2010) the Milan Junior Camp welcomed more
than 700 campers during 9 weeks:
600 from Italy, 200 from 30 different
countries and in particular: USA, CANADA, UK, JORDAN, KUWAIT,
SAUDI ARABIA, EMIRATES, JAPAN, CROATIA, SLOVENIA, GERMANY, GREECE,
RUSSIA, INDIA, MEXICO, and LEBANON.
The soccer camp provides one of the
most prestigious coaching staff of
Italy and some of the most
famous and exclusive sites of Italy (Jesolo and Vittorio Veneto)
and Europe, as Cortina
D’Ampezzo is known worldwide.
The soccer camp has a
large number of Italian players (more than 80% on average)
AC Milan prized the
2007 Milan Junior Camp of Cortina as:

“BERLUSCONI’S TROPHY” AND MILAN JUNIOR CAMP DAY
Each participants taking part in the Milan Junior
camp, will be given a free ticket to the prestigious “Trofeo Berlusconi”
match, AC Milan vs. Juventus Turin, that usually takes place in the
middle of August as an opener for the Italian football season (the date
for the game is usually available at the end of July ).
In every camp session, the AC Milan supervisors will
choose one or two 10 year old boys (2001). The players
selected will be able to take part in the Milan Junior Camp Day,
the three day meeting of the best participants in all
Milan Junior Camps worldwide, which will take place, around September -
October 2011, at the Vismara – Milan Sport Center.
Vismara is the sport centre where all AC Milan youth teams side
train (the first team and the Primavera (U19) team train at
Milanello).
There should be about 200 class’01, 10 years old boys,
who will play each other in friendly games all day
long, while watched attentively by AC Milan Youth side’s talent
scouts. Afterwards they will be taken to the San Siro
stadium for a Milan home game and some of them might be able to
meet some first team players after the game.
Considering that over 700 boys signed up in 2010, Sporteventi
was able to admit to the MJC DAY – 2009 about 30
10 years old boys (of the class’01).
NB. The date for the MJC DAY will be announced as soon as
known but NOT before the end of July 2011.
Also, at each camp, the AC Milan supervisors will
choose one or two 9-10 year old boys (2000-2001). They will be able to take
part in the Milan Junior Camp Day, the Two days meeting of the best
players in all Milan Junior Camps worldwide, which will take place,
presumably in the fall 2011, at the Vismara – Milan Sport Center.
Vismara is the sport center where all AC Milan youth teams side train
(the first team and the Primavera (U19) team train at Milanello instead).

The children arrive at their camp on Sunday around
12:30pm. They are immediately assigned an
Adidas-Milan kit,
so they can arrive properly fitted out on 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 onsite.
Saturday morning is the final intramural tournament; the camp ends at noon
after certificates of participation are
distributed, along with cups and medals awarded to
players and teams who exhibited exceptional skills on the individual and group
levels.
Finally a special fair-play award is given to the camper
who 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.)
During the
weekend (for children staying more than one week), there are no practices,
only rest time.

Campers are divided into groups based mainly on age,
physical growth, and finally technical ability, which is decided the first

Milan Kit too!)
Main age groups are:

12 to 16 year old
Following is a brief description of the type of
training done by each group:

the ball, dribbling, shots on goal) |
|
|
9-11 year:
|
|
Working with the ball and technical-tactical work
(working 3 against 2 or 2 against 1, zone or man defense, movements

The camp requires
a doctor's medical certificate (no older than a year) attesting that
the participant is physically able to participate fully in all
sports and social activities during the camp.
All Italian camps are taught in Italian only, however, a few
coaches speak some English during each session .
For many years, we have participants coming from all over the world and
a lot of them do not speak Italian but accommodate very well to the camp
as there is no language barrier.
