THE LEARNING

Our three-day camps include a written player evaluation that helps your family understand their learning and the next step to practice.
First Touch

Receive a pass, guide your first touch into space and pass back. Start slowly, then change the receiving foot.
Example only. Your child’s evaluation is written by their coach and reflects their camp experience.

02The winter check-in point comes with your camp details before the first evening.

THEIR CAMP.
YOUR PEACE OF MIND.
Know the plan before the first whistle.
Is this the right camp for my player?
All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to elite players. Choose the learning focus that fits their goals: touch and control, attacking and finishing, or competing and possession. We pair players with similar-skilled athletes and consider age when arranging groups.
How are players grouped?
Players are grouped by age and playing ability, with activities and challenges suited to their level. U6–U15 is the overall camp range, not one mixed training group. Tell the team about your player’s experience before camp so we can help them settle into the right group.
Does my child need to be an experienced player?
No. Beginners, developing players and elite athletes are welcome. We match players with similar-skilled athletes, so they can learn and compete at an appropriate level.
Who is looking after my child?
Our standard is one coach for every 15 players, with a second coach from the 16th player. Coaching accreditation, background checks and safeguarding training are required. Staff trained in CPR and first aid are on site during camp. Pickup is limited to an adult on the roster. Former professional athletes and accredited high-level coaches lead the sessions, with local camp leads coordinating the program.
What if my child is nervous?
Tell the camp team before arrival about anything that would help your child settle in. Ask about attending with a friend, the first-day welcome and how coaches can support a player who is new to the group.
What about allergies, medication or injuries?
Speak with the local camp team before booking about allergies, medical needs, medication arrangements and emergency procedures. Confirm the support available for your child before they attend.
What do we bring—and what comes home?
Players wear black shorts and black socks, both in the 1st Class store if you need them. Bring water, a snack and suitable soccer gear. Check the local venue’s footwear instructions. Our listed three-day camps include two jerseys and a player evaluation within two days, with a next step to practice. One-day inclusions vary by camp.
Can friends or siblings attend together?
Each child is registered individually. Ask the local team about friend requests, sibling ages, eligibility and group placement before registering.
A person to ask. A clear next step.
