[quote=Anonymous]This is all marketing. If the notion of these camps being associated with a favorite team will get your child to attend then maybe it’s worth it. 
We have done two now. The actual association with the team it’s coaches or training methods are lose or vague at best. This is an affiliate model, Kaptiva has run both camps we attended and it seems as though they really try to stay behind-the-scenes. We did get “selected” To go to Spain and we did go. I’m assuming they select a ton of kids, knowing that only a very few will actually pay to go. I doubt it has much to do with actual abilities. Again in Spain, Kaptiva was the host And they did a good job. The experience was great And my Son did get to actually train at the Real Madrid campus. I do think the level of coaching and training was at a higher level. When you’re at the campus, I do feel like you’re getting a certain quality of Coach. The second daily session is clearly through Kaptiva, not the affiliated team.
…for the most part when you’re doing these things in North America at your local Soccer Field, you’re getting coaches recruited locally with maybe some brief training.
In summary if you’re affiliated with a strong local team where your kids know the other players. I would spend your money there and support the Local team and organizations. I think with these affiliated events, you just paying 200 extra dollars to get the team kit.[/quote]
