School holidays are a chance to keep learning, keep playing and stay connected to the game. 1CS provides focused soccer sessions, coaching attention and a clear purpose for the time your child spends on the field.

Players work on the tools of the game: first touch, close control, passing, striking and finishing. The camp’s focus gives that practice a direction, with repeated opportunities to use the ball.

Skills become more useful when a player knows when to use them. Our camp themes connect technique to situations such as keeping possession, winning a duel, combining with teammates and finding a chance to finish.

Camp gives players room to try, make a mistake and try again. The aim is to help them become more comfortable on the ball and more willing to make decisions when they return to their team.

Soccer is a team game. Players practice with others, work through competitive situations and learn how their actions affect the players around them. Boys and girls take part together.

Written session plans and small groups give the coaching a clear structure. Our standard is one coach for every 15 players, with a second coach from the 16th player.

Learning should carry into the next team session. Our listed three-day camps include a written player evaluation naming what your child should practice next, sent within two days of camp.
