We have a dedicated team of staff located at selected airports on arrival and departure days. If you book an arrival airport transfer your child will be met by a member of our staff as they walk through to the arrivals hall. Our friendly staff will be holding a camp sign in a prominent position at the front of the arrivals area and your child will be escorted from this point all the way from the airport to the camp venue. Depending on your child's flight time, there may be a short wait at the airport for other players to arrive during which time full supervision is given.

COACHING

The coaching curriculum is designed and delivered by Chelsea FC Foundation, one of the world’s leading football, education and community programmes. Players are put into coaching groups by age and then, using four key factors of development; technical, physical, psychological and social, they are challenged to improve their individual skills and techniques. On-field coaching is tailored to the level of the individual and focuses on skills development through demonstration, practice and feedback. A weekly training day at Chelsea FC’s training Centre in Cobham provides an inspirational setting for players to take their training to the next level. During the day Chelsea’s expert staff, together with special guest speakers, offer young players knowledge and insight into the professional game. Question and answer sessions will follow each workshop.

Results

Players will improve through a combination of coaching, skills challenges and small-sided games. They leave with a better understanding of themselves as a player and gain confidence and insight from an international football environment. Their English skills are developed inside and outside the classroom, improving all aspects of their communication and understanding. All players receive an individual coaching review and certificate. Players also leave with an English report from their teacher and advice on how to continue improving their English at home.

ENGLISH (Football+English Option)

Our carefully designed English syllabus is based on the CLIL approach used in prestigious schools worldwide. Students are grouped into the appropriate class for their age and level based on a pre-camp online test and a verbal assessment on day one. At camp, they are immersed in an English-speaking environment 24/7 with teachers staying on-site. As well as general English, we use sports-related English topics in class to engage students in fun and interactive lessons. A combination of traditional classroom techniques, active participation and project work gives students the tools they need to communicate effectively during their coaching sessions and in the wider world.
