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 DVD 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.

Schedules for beach areas such as Jesolo may provide for evening training due to the hot weather during the summer. Those afternoons the group may go to the beach.

Training on the soccer field is agreed upon between the Responsible Manager and the AC Milan supervisors present, based on the guidelines set down by the supervisor.

Campers are divided into groups based mainly on age, physical growth, and finally technical ability, which is decided the first day upon their arrival at the camp (Sunday afternoon).

There will be a special goalkeeper session during each camp. (Special Goalkeeper Milan Kit too!)

Main age groups are:

• 7 to 8 year old
• 9 to 11 year old
• 12 to 16 year old

7-8 year: Mainly working with the ball (guiding 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 without the ball)

12-16 year: Mainly all aspects of technical-tactical work

The morning is usually devoted to technical stations; afternoons are used for squad or individual tournaments (drives, shoot outs, penalty kicks, etc.). As a general rule, physical work is suspended on Wednesday afternoons to give campers time to recuperate from their hard work. "Recuperation" often occurs in a pool, whenever the town or hotel offers adequate installations.
