In any English football camp, there are first-class specialists who are ready not only to train students "for physics", but to track their progress and contribute to the right development, supporting, respecting individuality and helping them make the right choice.

• English-speaking environment

In an English sports camp, the child will find himself in a situation where willy-nilly he will have to use English for communication: coaches, educators and teachers will speak it, this language will become the only link with young athletes from dozens of other countries who speak a variety of languages. Immersion in the language environment and informal communication are much more effective than traditional and boring lessons in an academic format: it is much easier to master vocabulary, pronunciation and overcome the language barrier.

• A wide range of programs and extracurricular activities

Classes in children's football camps in England are available to both boys and girls, from a very early age until 20-21 years old. A variety of sports programs, enriched with classes in English and other languages, exact and natural sciences, a rich program of extracurricular activities will allow students to fully reveal their potential. In addition, there will be all kinds of excursions and activities on campus, walks through ancient and modern English cities, excursions and other activities.

Each of the one and a half hundred summer football camps in England, Wales and Scotland offers its own bright and original program. Many camps cooperate with English Premier League clubs, work with their managers and coaching staffs.

As a rule, each camp offers programs for several age categories. For example, the camp at Charterhouse School distinguishes 2 groups: 9-12 years old and 12-17 years old. Other camps may offer arrivals starting from the age of 6, or shift the upper limit to 21 years old, distinguishing a larger number of age subgroups.

Trainings are held 2-3 times a day and, depending on age and additional classes, can take 6-8 hours. All this allows you to achieve impressive results, deep work on the technique of the game, develops discipline and gives teamwork skills. Once a week (at least), pupils participate in competitions with other educational institutions, and during the football season, games are often held in large arenas, which serve as home stadiums of Premier League clubs: each such game is accompanied by an excursion, communication with players and veterans of the club, solemn ceremonies with the presentation of memorable gifts and souvenirs.

The program of football classes is developed with the participation of coaches and managers of partner clubs. A child in the camp will have an excellent opportunity to develop their language skills: all classes are held in English, in addition, the school may have a special staff of professional teachers (along with English, the program of classes may include other foreign languages, subjects of the school curriculum, for example, mathematics or natural sciences). The standard program may include 15-20 classes lasting from half an hour to an hour; There are also richer programs where the load reaches 25-30 hours a week (all this is in addition to football, so it is important to soberly assess the capabilities of your child).

The level of training is not important: on the first day after simple tests, students will be divided into groups in accordance with their level of training. Classes usually have 5-15 students; Teachers carefully monitor the pace and progress of each student's learning, if necessary, adjust the program. Teenagers not only enrich their vocabulary, but also gain valuable skills of interaction and communication in an informal environment.

In addition to academic classes and training, there is a varied and vibrant extracurricular program. These can be full-day or multi-hour excursions, visits to museums and trips to places of interest, various activities on campus, indoor tournaments, discos, debate clubs, outdoor games and walks. Programs lasting 2 weeks or more often include full-day excursions (sometimes even with an overnight stay): Oxford, Cambridge, Windsor, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester and Aberdeen. The wards of the football camp are primarily interested in Wembley, Old Trafford and other famous stadiums, which have become the arenas of legendary matches that have gone down in the annals of the history of world football. On the other hand, children are children, and an excursion to a museum, an amusement park or a bowling alley is also a great success! Moreover, during such events, pupils actively interact with each other: there is a kind of team building, and at the same time a workshop in English.

A typical sports football camp in England operates on the basis of a prestigious private school or college. Usually this is a guarded and spacious area, reliably hidden from outsiders.

Children usually live in the residences of the boarding house. Conditions may vary - from their own room for each student to a dormitory for 8-12 people, with shared or private bathrooms. Depending on the policy of the administration, there may be a TV and broadband Internet access in the rooms (some camps strive to keep the time spent online or in front of the TV screen to a minimum, so this should be clarified in advance). On each floor there is a recreation room for common games.

Another available accommodation format is a host family, where the pupil will be under the reliable supervision of a professional and experienced guardian: there the child will be provided with his own room with everything necessary for a comfortable life, and the family will be responsible for leisure on weekends and in free time from classes and training.
