Sidcot School

The Football Camp offers an exciting and professionally delivered summer programme for students aged 7–16 who want to develop their football skills while enjoying a structured and enriching UK boarding experience. Set in the British countryside near Bristol, the camp is hosted at Sidcot School, a traditional boarding school with extensive sports facilities and a safe, welcoming campus.

Football training is delivered by qualified FA and UEFA coaches who bring professional expertise and modern training methods to every session. Players take part in structured coaching focused on technical skills, tactical awareness, teamwork, and match play. Training sessions are designed to be challenging, enjoyable, and age-appropriate, helping players improve their confidence, fitness, and understanding of the game. Friendly matches and end-of-week tournaments allow students to apply their learning in a competitive yet supportive environment.

Training takes place on high-quality grass, astro, and 3G pitches, providing excellent conditions for player development. A highlight of the programme is a football stadium visit in London, giving students a memorable insight into the professional game and inspiring future ambitions. An e-sports football competition adds a modern and engaging dimension to the football experience.

In addition to football training, students attend three interactive academic lessons each day. These lessons are taught in English and focus on developing communication, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Subjects may include English, presentations, business, science, and leadership, ensuring a balanced programme that supports both intellectual and athletic development.

Students are accommodated in comfortable boarding houses on campus, with rooms shared by students of similar age. Boarding life encourages independence, responsibility, and international friendships, while experienced staff provide round-the-clock supervision and pastoral care. Nutritious meals are served daily in the school dining facilities, supporting students’ health and performance throughout the programme.

Evenings and leisure time are filled with organised activities designed to promote teamwork, relaxation, and social interaction. Students have the opportunity to connect with peers from around the world who share a passion for football, creating lasting friendships and unforgettable memories.

The Football Camp offers a well-rounded summer experience that combines high-quality football coaching, academic enrichment, and personal development. Set in a secure and inspiring environment, the programme supports young players in developing their skills, confidence, and love for the game while enjoying a memorable summer in the UK.
