For the third year, the U-15, 16 and 17 FCP teams will be attending the T3 Residential Camp at Eastern University. This year the camp runs from July 14th-17th. The T3 staff will again functionally and tactically train the FCP teams in Dutch 4-2-3-1. Dutch system has been the backbone to the success of the FCP teams, and the players look forward to continuing learning system related training from some of the top college coaches in the region in Mark Wagner (Eastern University) and Dan Wagner (Franklin and Marshall).
