The Etihad Campus is home to the Etihad Stadium, where Manchester City’s first team plays, and the City Football Academy (CFA), the training center for the club’s professional teams and academy.
Mancunians are known for their good humor 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.

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

Sessions run Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Etihad Campus, with a lunch break. Each day alternates practical sessions on the field (15 hours per week) with theory, language or performance sessions depending on the program.
Each day follows a theme: technical on Monday, physical on Tuesday, psychological on Wednesday, tactical on Thursday and review on Friday. On the field, campers 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 game 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 program that helps campers progress throughout the week, and pass on Manchester City’s playing principles: possession-based, technical and fluid soccer.
In the PRO and PRO MAX programs, campers also benefit from enhanced coach feedback on their performance.
Staff and activities
In addition to the coaches, a team of counselors accompanies the young players throughout the camp: during workshops and activities, trips, meals and in the evening at the residence.
The team runs the evening activities (team-building, yoga, trivia, 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 programs.
All programs are taught in English. Many campers do not speak English when they arrive and usually adapt very well.
Trips and days out
On the schedule for Overnight Camp 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 store.
Campers staying 2 weeks also enjoy 2 weekend excursions:
- The Alton Towers amusement park
- The National Football Museum
Language Class
After soccer, it’s time for English! In the ENGLISH program, campers take 15 hours of English classes per week, built entirely around soccer.
Each day follows a theme: the player, the manager, the journalist, the analyst, followed by the awards on Friday. Campers practice English in real-life situations: player profiling, reviewing previous games, team talks, the language of interviews, press conferences, the role of a commentator and game commentary.
A fun and practical method to improve speaking skills while living their passion for soccer.
