After arriving on the 25th of October and having the night to adjust, the group started the trip with one of the football matches that they are going to see during the trip. The group went to see Feyenoord football culture at its best and got to watch the fixture Feyenoord – PSV in the Kuip. It was one of the greatest matches in the Netherlands to gain the number one position in the League. The next day, the team started with their intensive training schedule. Boin’s schedule was designed to get the maximum number of training sessions while having multiple friendly matches in combination with the intensity-rest ratio. Each session was specifically designed to meet the current level of the team and push them beyond their own expectations.

The group played friendly matches against the Feyenoord Academy, ADO Den Haag and Feyenoord Academy partner V.V. Smitshoek. In the upcoming week, the group will play three more friendly matches to put everything they have learned from the Feyenoord coaches into practice.

Besides the football activities, the team trips focus on teambuilding and sightseeing activities to expand the cultural knowledge of the group and strengthen the bond within the team. Up to now, the group has explored the city of Rotterdam, did a stadium tour of the Kuip and went to their second Feyenoord match in the Kuip against FC Volendam.

For the upcoming week, the team will go more deeply and thorough in their training sessions to push themselves to the maximum level. They will go to more football matches to see and experience Dutch football and visit a couple of cities in the Netherlands.
