Learn to play better football on this ‘serious but fun’ Summer Camp designed to improve individual skill and awareness levels and make every participant a better team player.

 

Programme Overview

Village Camps was a pioneer in the organisation of top class football camps in the early 70s. The high Summer Camp standards continue through to today. For the past 5 years our Football Director, Neil O'Donnell, has devised an exciting modern coaching programme that is really enjoyed by our young footballers and admired by other coaching organisations. Neil, who directs the programme on-site, is one of the highest qualified coaches working with young players in football camps. He is already qualified as a UEFA 'B' coach and is working towards his UEFA 'A' grade.

Coaching takes place every morning on the excellent training area and football pitches close to the accommodation, using the new state-of-the-art ‘all-weather’ artificial surface in the event of wet weather conditions. Players are divided into age and ability groups and the dedicated coaching team work hard and enthusiastically to develop individual skills and techniques, as well as teaching tactics and team moves. At the end of most sessions there is a short competitive game for each age group, usually on a 5-a-side pitch, with time taken out to analyse tactics. Points that require individual attention are identified, discussed and improved.

 

Accommodation, Excursions & Activities

The Village Camps site, Queen Ethelburga's College, provides an exceptional standard of state-of-the-art accommodation. The Camp has an impressive range of leisure and sports facilities all in the glorious 'parkland' setting of the green Yorkshire countryside. Highlights include a full day excursion to Manchester with time for shopping and planned leisure activities in the impressive Trafford Centre and a half-day excursion to the historic, walled city of York with time to visit the famous York Minster and other major points of interest. In the afternoons and evenings, campers at York enjoy an exciting range of activities. Highlights are the fun team competitions on BIG Night, International Night and the Talent Show.
