Technical Championships
Are you “Boss” of the ball? Are you able to make the difference on the pitch?
These are the questions that go to the heart of Rene Meulensteen’s “Moves and Skills” philosophy that is the foundation of the US National Technical Championship (USNTC).
The Technical Championship or USNTC series is founded on the “Moves & Skills” teaching principles of Rene, Manchester United’s first team coach. Rene’s methods are admired all around the world and many star players have praised Rene for improving their game, including Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo (both now playing at Real Madrid, Spain).
The USNTC allows you to train like the European professional players. Players 7 – 14 years of age will enjoy a full day of technical training and games similar to what Manchester United Youth Academy player’s experience. In the Netherlands this three-year-old event has grown steadily, making it now the largest youth soccer event with 6,200 players and over 100 clubs participating.
Each player will receive a soccer ball, USNTC shirt, trophy, lunch, and a personal certificate. The “Moves and Skills” learned will give the player the ability and confidence to dominate any 1v1 situation on the field. At the end of the day Rene Meulensteen Academy coaches, along with local club coaches will select the top players of each age-category to attend the USNTC final. In the final event the skill competition winners in each age-category will be recognized as the best technical players of 2010 in the US.
The overall winner will earn a long weekend trip to Manchester United, the most famous soccer club in the world! He/she will watch an English Premier League game at Old Trafford (Manchester United’s famous field), tour the stadium and visit the fan-shop at “The Theatre of Dreams.”
