Gap Year Soccer
Boys and Girls, forever striving!

Talent World International soccer program retains global recognition by developing students and athletes within an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in The Netherlands. From a training methodology focused on individual improvement and team strategies to an academic schedule and curriculum that mirrors collegiate programs, students and athletes have access to a wide network of resources that ensures they’re supported throughout their career.

From March 2020 Talent World International has established an official cooperation with Barcelona SS in The Netherlands, becoming officially responsible for the International Scouting U14 – U23, offering the players and students the opportunity to be signed with premier league clubs in Holland.

The Barcelona SS “International Project ” has operational headquarters in Rotterdam.

It has latest generation soccer fields; it is supported and have collaboration with the High School of Rotterdam and the International Business School of The Hague for the classroom. It has a boarding school program for underage students, college for adults, private accommodation and participating hotels for those staying for short periods. It can accommodate up to 200 students, with a least one technical trainer every 15 students.

TECHNICAL OBJECTIVE

Scouting quality players to play with (semi)professional youth teams up to U21. During a period of training and matches all players are trained and evaluated by a the professional staff of Barcelona SS, its coaches and scouts.
Players have the opportunity to be assessed while playing also in front of scouts from other professional clubs attending the event, such as: Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV, ADO Den Haag, Sparta Rotterdam and FC Utrecht.

Talent Identification Program

Goals and Objectives

The Talent Identification Program is identical, in intensity and contents, to the one used by BARCELONA SS. Players participating in the TIP develop their technical and tactical skills through a daily work program identical to that set for professional players.

Measuring Performances:

Every 3 months Barcelona SS will provide the athletes with personalized reports where the technical and tactical parameters will be evaluated in order to measure effective improvements. Technical and tactical lacking aspects will be identified since the very beginning in order to provide the athletes with a specific training.

Comparing with Professionals:

At least 4 times during the soccer season all of the athletes taking part to the TIP will train directly with a pro club, also with friendly matches having the purpose in showing off their own technical qualities but also to compare and understand the average professional requirements needed by these clubs.

DURATION

There are two types of “Talent Identification Program”, differing in commitment and duration:

The “Year-Round Talent Identification Program” that has a duration of 9 months (September to June) that coincide with the school or academic year’s beginning and end.

The “Monthly Program” that has a duration of either 1, 2, 3 or 6 months and can be attended during any period of the football season.

No Pain, No Gain.
Train like Frenkie,
Play like Memphis!

Soccer Performance Program

All our Gap Year Soccer programs are built around periodization principles in 6-week cycles that include the following development modules:

Individual training
Team training
Strength training
Athletic & Personal Development
- Strength and Conditioning
- Mental Conditioning
- Leadership Development
- Nutrition Training
Athlete Management System

Student and athletes meet with their coaches to set up an individual development plan with overall long term goals, short term measurable objectives, and mutually agreed upon outcomes over the cycle.

Following the 6-week period, coaches and players review their progress and set new objectives when necessary ahead of the upcoming cycle. Four times per program, players receive a report detailing their progress and future areas of focus which include strength, agility, and endurance test results as well as video review.

Always striving, Never satisfied!
