Participants in the ‘Total Football’ programme take part in workshops and recovery activities, while the other group attend English lessons.
During the day, coaches and professionals share their knowledge and give the young players an insight into the professional world.
The players progress through a variety of exercises during training sessions, with challenges and short games. The young players train in an entertaining and stimulating environment. All participants leave with a better understanding of the game and greater self-confidence, all in an international environment with players from all over the world.
It’s also worth noting that the Chelsea FC Foundation offers a specific goalkeeping programme for 13 – 17 year olds at Charterhouse exclusively ! They have a dedicated technical session each day before joining the other players to take part in matches and put their skills into practice.

Your child will be immersed in an English environment.
Practically speaking, the students will be assessed and allocated to groups that correspond to their level after arriving.
The CLIC method will be employed throughout the week in order to offer an intense and efficient teaching method.
