Course Description
Our team of experienced coaches including ex-international players are involved in all aspects of the camp and create a training environment that motivates and inspires players. Working on all aspects of the game in morning and afternoon coaching sessions, players will also benefit from two hours a week of workshops on topics such as match tactics and nutrition, delivered by coaches off the pitch. Where the opportunity arises players may also have the chance to play matches against local English teams and meet young British players.

Accommodations
Accommodation is in boarding houses around the main school buildings. At Radley, most bedrooms are single occupancy with shared bathrooms. Please note we cannot guarantee any particular bedroom. We allocate bedrooms based on sport, age, gender and room share requests.
Meals
3 meals a day and an evening snack, including vegetarian options. Most dietary requirements can be catered for with prior notice.
Pocket Money
We often get asked how much spending money players should bring. As everything is included in the camp, players can get by without spending money but there is the opportunity to buy additional snacks on-camp (cash only), and to buy souvenirs and extra food on trips. Players tend to bring £50 - £200 or a UK-activated credit/debit card (depending on their age). All cash will be kept in the camp bank, with the exception of small amounts for snacks on-site. This is just a guide, there is no requirement to bring spending money.

Transportation
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 Nike Camps 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.
On the departure day our staff will help your child to the check-in at the airport. We can also make arrangements to transfer your child to the airline’s unaccompanied minor service if you check the unaccompanied minor box when booking the transfer.

Coaches share their own experiences about what it takes to raise your game to the highest level and equip players with a better understanding of the game and how to continue to progress at home. Each player receives an individual coaching review and a certificate to take home.
