Overview

Swerve Soccer have been operating residential camps for the past 8 years. Our hugely enriching residential camps provide everything you could want for the best possible footballing experience for players aged 8-14. The 3-day camp offers a good balance of technical and fun training that is progressive and is adapted to the characteristics that are in attendance.

Sessions are structured and progressive with the outlook to develop each individual to create the ‘complete player’. Throughout the course, the camp will look into a variety of topics that cover defending, midfield and attacking principles. There will also be opportunities for goalkeeper specific training.

Classes are hosted by a team of UEFA qualified coaches and advanced high-performance trainers who have a wealth of experience. Incorporated within the programme will be injury prevention workshops, live Q&A’s with an ex/current pro and an exciting excursion to watch Chelsea U21's vs Crystal Palace U21's un their Premier League 2 clash! Our residential camps are hosted at Bede’s Senior School in Upper Dicker who offer outstanding training facilities for this course.
