Training Tips for Holidays

Dear Parents and Players,
At Barça Academy, we are dedicated to encouraging our players to maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep playing, even during the holidays. Whether you are traveling or staying in Singapore, it’s
important to continue your training and stay active.

Training Methodology and Drills on Barça Academy Singapore Camps

Emphasis is placed on drills that maximize
interaction with the ball. This approach helps players develop skills such as dribbling, passing, and ball control while simultaneously building their confidence
with the ball at their feet. By engaging with the ball frequently during training sessions, players become more comfortable and adept at handling various game
situations.

Tips to Improve Stamina for Kids (Ages 8-15)

Consistent Aerobic Exercise: Running and Jogging: Encourage regular running and jogging sessions. Start
with shorter distances and gradually increase as stamina improves. Studies from
the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health highlight the benefits of aerobic
exercise for cardiovascular health and stamina improvement in children. Swimming: Incorporate swimming as it is a full-body workout that enhances
cardiovascular endurance. Cycling: Regular cycling can improve leg strength and overall stamina.

PSLE PERFORMANCE AND SPORT PARTICIPATION

Academic and research institutions contribute to the conversation by conducting
studies that explore the relationship between sports participation and academic
performance.
Their research often supports the idea that engaging in sports can have positive
effects on students’ academic outcomes, including standardized test scores like
the PSLE. These institutions play a crucial role in providing evidence-based
recommendations for integrating sports into educational policies and practices.

The Hidden Benefits of Playing Football in the Rain

When rain begins to fall, many sports sessions around the world are paused or cancelled. But at Barça Academy Singapore, our philosophy is keep playing. As long as safety is ensured (e.g., no lightning), we encourage our young players to train and play in the rain.

Correlation of Playing sports (football) on boosting energy levels and reducing stress

Several studies from prominent U.S. universities have explored the impact of
physical training and playing sports like football on boosting energy levels and
reducing stress. These studies highlight the physiological and psychological benefits of regular physical activity. While I can provide a general overview of the types of research conducted, for the most up-to-date and specific studies, consulting
academic databases or the universities’ departments of sports science and
psychology would be beneficial.

Enriched & Technical Skills Relevant Points

By taking these pieces of advice from some of the game’s most iconic figures, you can approach your technical training with a renewed perspective and motivation. Remember, the journey to mastering football skills is continuous, and every practice session is an opportunity to get one step closer to your goals.
