Who this camp is for
Nike Football Performance Camp is the highest‑level Chelsea‑linked programme in the brochure for boys aged 15–17 who already play at club level and want to treat part of their summer as a serious pre‑season block. It is aimed at players who are physically and mentally ready for a more demanding training and workshop schedule.
- Age: 15–17
- Gender: boys
- Level: club‑level players with strong motivation and match experience
Camp length, dates and options
According to the football brochure and camp information sheet, Performance Camps are offered as 6‑night and 13‑night residential stays in summer 2026. Players can join for one week or link two weeks for an extended training phase. Available dates for this product are shown in the selector above.
The Performance pathway uses the same overall camp structure as the other football programmes (Total Football and Football + English). Exact availability of English‑plus options depends on the chosen dates, but in all cases training volume is high and the environment is performance‑focused.
High‑performance training programme
Training on the Performance Camp builds on the Chelsea methodology but moves further into intensity and detail. Across the week, players can expect:
- Advanced technical work executed at game speed under pressure.
- Position‑specific and unit‑based tactical sessions (defence, midfield, attack).
- Video or whiteboard‑based analysis to understand game situations better.
- Football‑specific conditioning and mobility work appropriate to age.
- Workshops on mindset, resilience, recovery and life as a high‑level player.
Locations & facilities
The Performance Camp is linked in the brochure to prestigious venues such as Winchester College and other top boarding schools used by Nike Sports Camps. These campuses offer:
- Excellent grass pitches and training areas.
- Sports halls and indoor analysis rooms.
- Comfortable boarding facilities suited to older teenagers.
Accommodation, welfare & insurance
- Full‑board accommodation with meals tailored for active teenagers.
- Shared rooms grouped by age, with clear behaviour expectations.
- 24‑hour supervision and established welfare procedures.
- International Student Travel Insurance from Howden included for all bookings made via the official camp operator.
Excursions & free time
Even in a performance‑oriented week, players benefit from time away from the training pitch. The brochure describes organised excursions that may include visits to English cities and Chelsea‑linked attractions, depending on dates. These trips provide mental recovery, team bonding and memorable experiences outside training.
Airport transfers & travel
- Standard and Unaccompanied Minor transfers from London Heathrow (LHR) and London Gatwick (LGW) are available as an optional extra.
- Transfers are scheduled to align with official arrival and departure windows published in the camp information sheet.
