Second Loko-Valencia Camp will be held June 5th to 9th 2017 in Voka.
- Last year there was a "Locomotiv-Valencia" camp. Did you like everything in organisation of it, and which changes would you like to make this year?
- Our first edition has been quite succesfull and we are amazed what has been offered to the kids besides the trainings. Like we went to a cinema and a Premiium Liga Game. We will focus on getting the organisation even better as we know now how to work well together.
- You're making such camps in the other countries also. How Estonia (Ida-Virumaa) differs on their background?- In every country you have to deal with the local culture. Sometimes language can be a barrier becuase not all the kids speak English or Estonian. The coaches and kids were very motivated to make the camp a great event and due all the translators we had on the pitch it all worked out really well. A mixture of Estonian, Russian, English and Spanish had one great factor in common; the language of football.
- What do you think of our children?
The children in the Ida-Virumaa are good kids. Generally well behaved, decent discipline and willing to learn new things. They are used to to train hard and deal with sometimes difficult weather circumstances. The Valencia way of wroking is very different what they are used to. The coaches are very close to the kids in terms of attention and the way they are treated. This could help some kids to open up a little more and get more self confidence . The Spanish coaches are really looking forward to come back to Voka and spent a week with the kids.
- What would you like to wish to parents, which at the moment are deciding, whether send their children to camp or it's possible to do without it?
- To the parents I would say that whaterver the level is of your kids, they get all the attention they deserve. The Valencia coaches can be sometimes a little harsh when needed but they would never scream at the kids. They have a very personal and warm approach, like the Spanish temperament. During the trainings we will focus primarily on working with the ball. Position play is a essential part of Spanish football. Enjoy playing together improver technical and tactical skills. We will looking after your kid and make sure he or she has a wonderful experience.
