What can you expect at a typical day at camp?
4 skills your child will learn:
Technical
We teach your child fundamental football skills, such as passing or shooting, to help them become more technically-gifted footballers. We then reinforce these skills each day of football camp, with team games against other players with the same ability to boost decision-making alongside technique.
Social
We keep our development camps to 10 children per coach. This guarantees that your child gets the attention they deserve and the coaching they’re after. It also makes it easier to build everlasting friendships for children who find large group situations challenging. Each day spans 6 hours of fun, meaning your child learns to build strong social connections outside of school.
Physical
Our summer, Easter, winter and half-term camps are about getting your child moving and physically strong. Each day of camp helps build fundamental physical skills that the child can use as they grow older or in other sports. Not only does it help with physical fitness, but with speed and agility too. While some children may usually play football for an hour, each full day gives many hours of football building endurance and stamina.
Psychology
Our unique football holiday camps also help with cognitive function. You will see your child develop better concentration, learning, listening, and decision-making skills after each day at camp.

Frequently asked questions
What will you teach my child at Holiday Camps?
Your child will learn to develop their ball manipulation, technique, game understanding and movement in a safe, structured and fun environment under the watchful eye of our experienced coaches. Our sessions, drills and games are tailored to each age group so players will always get the most out of their training. Ultimately we aim to make every child who attends our sessions the best footballer they can be.

What happens if my child wants to go home?
We will do our best to ensure that your child does not want to leave camp. However, if your child does want to go home, the Manager of the camp will call you and allow you to speak to your child on the phone. You can then collect them if you wish to do so.
