• Age: 13–17
• Gender: boys
• Level: players who play regularly and are motivated to improve
• Language: daily life in English, suitable for internationally minded players

Camp length, dates and options

All Nike Football Camps are offered as 1‑week (6‑night) or 2‑week (13‑night) residential stays in summer 2026. You can choose one week or combine two consecutive weeks for a longer experience. Dates for this specific camp are shown in the date selector above.

Across the programme, the official operator offers two main camp options (subject to availability on each week):

• Total Football – up to 24 hours of football per week, plus up to 8 hours of workshops on topics such as analysis, recovery, nutrition and mindset.
• Football + English – up to 24 hours of football per week, plus up to 13 hours of English lessons taught with an accelerated learning model for motivated teenagers.

All camps in the brochure are available for 6 or 13 nights. Extra nights are only possible between weekly sessions on the same venue; they are not available before the first overall start date or after the last overall end date.

Training programme

Advanced Camp coaching follows the Chelsea FC Academy methodology and is delivered by experienced coaches from the club’s international programme. Across the week, players typically work on:

• First touch, receiving under pressure and ball mastery.
• Passing combinations, movement off the ball and speed of play.
• 1v1 attacking and defending, small‑group defending and transitions.
• Finishing from different situations and positions.
• Small‑sided games and 11‑a‑side match play with feedback.

Off the pitch, the brochure programme also includes workshops on topics such as performance mindset, recovery, nutrition and life as an elite player. In some weeks, players can book optional 1‑on‑1 Pro Sessions with specialist coaches (as shown in the camp information sheet).
