christmas Holiday
This Christmas holiday, we’re once again hosting Ajax Clinics at AFC Ajax. During this one-day football experience, it’s all about training, having fun, and learning the Ajax-method of playing.
The theme of this Christmas holiday is thinking ahead: learning to read the game, anticipate what’s coming next, and control the game instead of simply reacting to it.
Want to be the first to hear about upcoming Clinics at AFC Ajax?
“An Ajax player plays the game before it happens.”
This Christmas holiday, the Ajax Clinics are all about one of the most important qualities of an Ajax player: thinking ahead.
An Ajax player doesn’t wait for the game to unfold—they already know their next move before the ball arrives. By constantly scanning the pitch, recognising situations quickly and anticipating what comes next, you’ll always stay one step ahead of your opponent.
During the Ajax Clinics, you’ll learn how to:
- have a plan before receiving the ball;
- think ahead and find solutions before problems arise;
- choose the right action before the decisive moment arrives.
Thinking ahead is a skill that can be trained. That’s why we focus on three key steps:
- Observe – constantly scan the pitch and be aware of your surroundings.
- Interpret – recognise and understand what’s happening in the game.
- Anticipate – act on what is about to happen and make the right decision.
Through challenging exercises and realistic game situations, you’ll develop better game intelligence, make quicker decisions and learn how to control the game instead of simply reacting to it.
Boys and girls aged 6 to 14 are welcome to participate, regardless of their experience or whether they play for a football club. By grouping players according to their age and ability, we create an environment where every young Ajacied can improve, enjoy the game and make new friends.
Get ready for an Ajax experience like never before!
