GolTV Now Brings You the Know-how to Really Bend It Like Beckham During the New 'GolTV Summer Camp' Time Block

MIAMI, July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- GolTV announced today that its viewers will soon have access to a soccer star of legendary proportions. With an avid fan base and unparalleled star status, David Beckham joins the GolTV stellar programming line-up via his award-winning show "Really Bend it like Beckham," a master play of instructional moves.

Any GolTV fan that has ever wondered how Beckham manages to score those amazing free kicks or pass the ball with such incredible accuracy will now be able to learn first hand from the champ himself.

Recorded in Madrid in February 2004, Beckham shares his soccer knowledge, skills and experiences with a select group of kids who won competitions around the world for the chance to train with their hero. This is the first time ever that one of the world's premier soccer players has shared his secrets, demonstrating his best moves without reserve.

But this is not just child's play. Throughout the series of personal training sessions, Beckham teaches the soccer player at heart (no matter the age) everything from tackling, ball control and free kicks, through to the all important physical exercises necessary to achieve the ultimate goal -- scoring!!!!!

Filmed in HD and using unique time slice and super slo mo filming techniques, this program also features classic moments from Beckham's football career.

"We are extremely excited to be able to add this award-winning special to the 'GolTV Summer Camp' line-up, which also includes Manchester United's instructional clinics. Tutorials from a team, by the way, that gave birth to this legendary player," said GolTV's VP of Programming and Acquisitions, Constantino Voulgaris.

The Manchester soccer clinics, by one of the most important teams in the world, also aim at showing GolTV's viewers and soccer aficionados the tricks of the trade and what it takes to become a great soccer player.

In addition, and to close out the "GolTV Summer Camp" with a bang, adidas and the network are announcing an agreement to produce four special instructional episodes direct from the adidas ESP. Each summer adidas ESP brings together more than 130 of the nation's top male high school soccer players for a rigorous five days of training by top-notch coaches from legendary teams such as Real Madrid.

The program's instructional secrets, known to produce some of today's top young soccer stars, such as Chris Carrieri (MLS #1 draft pick), Edson Buddle (U.S. Men's National Team), Kyle Martino (MLS Rookie of the Year), Jonathan Spector (Manchester United FC), will now be available to GolTV soccer aficionados.

These quality instructional specials, as well as the airing of some of the most important tournaments, original programming, news shows, and top leagues in the sport, bring GolTV viewers not only all the excitement of the sport but all the needed soccer know-how from the plays to the stats and the facts.

Viewers can tune into "GolTV Summer Camp" Line-up every Tuesday at 7:30pm July 5-September 7.
