· Theory workshops aimed at development of the personal coaches’ knowledge (conducted by the expert coaches)

· A special competition for the participants (to be organised at the end of the camp)

· Development of a complete profile for each athlete using individual evaluation, medical observation, and psycho-physical and technical tests

· Review of each athlete’s training programme by his/her coach and the expert coaches

· After each camp, the expert coaches will conduct a follow up of the athletes through contact with the personal coaches

The RDC and expert coaches will determine the specific activities and timetable for each camp based on the needs of the participating athletes/personal coaches and local conditions.
