When Shellie Rigsby, a mom of one young athlete asked her son “what was the most important thing you learned at camp this week,” her son turned to her and said, “that’s easy mom, in order to play my best, I have to learn to “play The Liverpool Way.”   And he was right, “The Liverpool Way” was indeed the theme of the week when more than 350 campers showed up from July 10-July 17 for their first days of what we knew would be the finest camp experience in the region.  Liverpool International Football Academy coaches John Gautry, John Miles and Chris Johnson brought bright smiles to all of the athletes and a challenging methodology of training to each group ages 6 through 19 during the two week camp. They delivered the messages of “breaking the line, receiving with the back foot, and checking over your shoulder “all under the theme of “The Liverpool Way.”

“The ‘Liverpool Way’ is a tangible way of doing things that sets us apart… that makes us better,” remarked John Gautry when asked what it was that made Liverpool Football Club so special.  The Liverpool International Football Academy Camp continues for the final week and wraps up what can only be called an “incredible” experience for all those who attended.
