ProFormance Global have operated within the UK, Europe and US since 2009 running soccer schools, development camps and Talent ID events. As well as providing opportunities for soccer players to develop and compare their performance to players at the highest level of youth football in England.
ProFormance Global will run a three-week soccer camp programme in California this summer, utilising the fantastic facilities provided by Legends FC in Santa Clarita, San Diego and Norco.
The aim of these camps is to bring coaches and methodology from London to California to give an insight to young players and local coaches. A chance to learn to “Play the Arsenal Way”.
Harry O’Riordan, Director of ProFormance Global said; I am excited to work with the Arsenal Football Development team to give players from Legends FC the opportunity to experience what makes a Strong Young Gunner.
The Strong Young Gunner model identifies and develops players across four core pillars, Effective Team Player, Most Efficient Mover, Champion Mentality and Lifelong Learner.
Legends FC CEO, Josh Hodges said; Legends FC is a club that’s strives to provide Southern California’s youth with the highest quality soccer training and development in America. Our mission is to cultivate a culture of continued success while having fun and creating memories with peers. Bringing Arsenal Football Development to our venues in partnership with ProFormance Global is in line with our club’s vision.
“We are delighted to collaborate with ProFormance Global to bring Arsenal Football Development to California this summer. These camps provide an exciting opportunity to share our coaching philosophy and the ‘Arsenal Way’ with players and coaches in a new environment. At the heart of our approach is the Strong Young Gunner model, which focuses on developing not only talented footballers, but well-rounded individuals across our four core pillars. We look forward to supporting young players as they learn, grow and experience the standards and values that define Arsenal’s youth development.” – Marc Thorogood, Arsenal Football Developement Business and Operations Manager.
