Location
During the camp, children divide their time between the City Football Academy, on the Etihad Campus, and their accommodation.
The Etihad Campus brings together the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City’s first team plays, and the City Football Academy (CFA), the training centre for the club’s professional teams and academy.
Mancunians are known for their good humour and kindness. This is the reputation of most of the North of England: people there are welcoming and helpful. Manchester is a charming place to visit all year round, with plenty of cultural sights to discover.
Accommodation

The sporting Facilities
Manchester City’s facilities are among the best in the world. Training takes place at the City Football Academy, the training centre used by the club’s professional teams, at the heart of the Etihad Campus.

Participants on the PRO and PRO MAX programmes also have access to the high-performance centre for their performance sessions: fitness testing, gym screening, analysis and recovery.

- CORE: 15 hrs of on-pitch training and 15 hrs of football theory workshops
- ENGLISH: 15 hrs of on-pitch training and 15 hrs of football-themed English lessons

Sessions run from Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 16:00 at the Etihad Campus, with a lunch break. Each day alternates practical sessions on the pitch (15 hours per week) with theory, language or performance sessions depending on the programme.
Each day follows a theme: technical on Monday, physical on Tuesday, psychological on Wednesday, tactical on Thursday and review on Friday. On the pitch, participants work on playing out from the back, playing through midfield, creating chances and finishing, pressing from the front, block defending, defending the goal and position-specific play, with a match on Thursday and recovery games on Friday.
Theory workshops (CORE, PRO and PRO MAX): goal setting and individual development plan, nutrition, wellbeing, psychology, recovery, leadership, media, performance analysis and game analysis.
Performance sessions (PRO and PRO MAX): analysis sessions, game preparation, review, physical testing, then depending on age: fun skills sessions, futsal and swimming for 9-12 year olds; strength and conditioning, gym screening, data review and hydrotherapy for 13-17 year olds.
Coaches and coaching method
Training sessions are led by official Manchester City coaches.
They follow a precise programme that helps participants progress throughout the week, and pass on Manchester City’s playing principles: possession-based, technical and fluid football.
On the PRO and PRO MAX programmes, participants also benefit from enhanced coach feedback on their performance.
Staff and activities
In addition to the coaches, a supervision team accompanies the young players throughout the camp: during workshops and activities, journeys, meals and in the evening at the residence.
The team runs the evening activities (team-building, yoga, quiz, movie night…) and looks after everyone’s rest and wellbeing, in an international atmosphere: over the past three years, players from 77 countries have taken part in the programmes.
All programmes are delivered in English. Many participants do not speak English when they arrive and generally settle in very well.
Trips and days out
On the programme for Full Board participants: a tour of the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City’s first team, and a visit to the City Store, the club’s official shop.
Participants staying 2 weeks also enjoy 2 weekend excursions:
- The Alton Towers theme park
- The National Football Museum
Language Class
After football, it’s time for English! On the ENGLISH programme, participants take 15 hours of English lessons per week, entirely built around football.
Each day follows a theme: the player, the manager, the journalist, the analyst, followed by the awards on Friday. Participants practise English in real-life situations: player profiling, reviewing previous games, team talks, the language of interviews, press conferences, the role of a commentator and match commentary.
A fun and practical method to improve speaking skills while living their passion for football.
