Introduction
The Residential program is the last educational step of our cycle of education done in the United States. It is a complete review of the technical and Tactical concepts necessary to any player that is interested in excelling in the game of soccer, they are expected to play in the highest level of college or professional football (soccer).
The program consists of 48 hours of education divided into 5 days 4 nights. The residential program is the first opportunity that BFUT staff will have to do the complete player profile (physical, technical, tactical, nutritional, and psychological analysis) of each participant. After the analysis a specific individual program will be implemented during the camp. The players will receive at the end of the residential camp a complete player assessment with the suggested 3 months cycle of continued education.
The residential program is offered in a team and individual basis. The program will cover the technical-tactical curriculum of the appropriate age group. The program is divided into Intermediate and Advanced groups. The athlete will be placed in their adequate level at the camp after the player assessment.
Recommended for players 12 years and older (Boys and Girls)
The Educator (coach) of the group with 12 or more players will receive full scholarship of the BFUT level 3 License course

For a full understanding of our philosophy and better tactical development, we strongly recommend the team camp attending the program as a unit. Example: An 11-year old player attends the camp and his/her priority will be to develop the technical ability and introduction to tactical concepts. The player will participate in the intermediate group. When this player decides to come to the next year’s academy, a full summary of the first camp will be available. The player will now work with the advanced group and focus on the technical tactical-functional concepts.
BFUT has players that have attended our Residential camp playing in the MLS, US National Team and top College soccer teams. The players that achieve a high level of performance in the Residential camp are invited to go to Brazil to participate in the IPT (Individual Practical Training) program.
