Ajax Orlando to conduct youth camps across U.S.

15 April: Ajax Orlando has announced plans to conduct recruitment and training camps across the United States during the summer of 2004. Activities are scheduled for college campuses in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, California, Ohio and Massachusetts.

"Ajax's summer Recruitment and Training Camps expose players to the most refined youth soccer training approaches," says Wim Suurbier, technical director for Ajax Orlando. "After five days of intense study, drills and matches, players will have an edge unrivaled by traditional soccer education."

The camps, which range in cost from  $475 to $695 per participant, are open to boys and girls ages 10 and older. According to Ajax Orlando, the camps will feature instruction by AFC Ajax Amsterdam trainers as well as regional college coaching staffs, and each player will be evaluated on the Ajax T.I.P.S (technique, intelligence, personality and speed) model. Player evaluations are entered into the proprietary Ajax Scouting Compendium for periodic review directly by AFC Ajax scouts and trainers.
