Location
The Chelsea Performance Camp takes place at Winchester College in the south of England, around 20 minutes from Southampton. This is a brand-new venue for Chelsea football camps, chosen for the quality of its sports facilities and its excellent surroundings. Founded in 1382, Winchester College is one of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the United Kingdom. Its historic campus, with medieval architecture, ancient libraries, and beautiful gardens, provides young players with the perfect environment to learn and improve.
The city of Winchester, a former capital of England, is one of the countryโs most charming and historic towns. Located in Hampshire, south of London, it is renowned for its majestic cathedral, medieval heritage, and picturesque streets. Winchester offers a peaceful and ideal setting for studying, exploring, or discovering British culture. The town combines history, elegance, and quality of life, while remaining close to major cities and the southern coast of England. It is an authentic and inspiring destination that your children will have the chance to experience.
Accommodation
During this Chelsea football camp, your children will stay at Winchester College. They will have access to brand-new accommodation located right next to the sports centre. These new houses feature single rooms and twin rooms with private bathrooms. A common lounge allows players to relax and spend time together off the pitch. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the college.
If your child wishes to share a room with a friend, simply let us know at the time of registration and we will place them together.
This is a performance camp offered by Chelsea. The facilities match the high standards of the camp, with fully renovated accommodation for all participants.
The sporting Facilities
In terms of facilities, Chelsea offers the very best for its Performance football camps. The sports centre at Winchester College embodies British sporting excellence with:
- A Sports Centre that includes a multi-purpose hall suitable for futsal on rainy days, six squash courts, a dojo, a dance studio, a six-lane 25-metre swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness suite

At the end of the camp, players leave with significant progress in technical and tactical skills, physical preparation, recovery and game understanding. Mental development is also included through yoga sessions, helping young athletes build confidence and manage emotions.
This intensive and comprehensive camp takes place in an international environment, bringing together young players from around the world for a sporting and personal experience that is both educational and enriching.
Coaches and coaching method
The Chelsea FC camp programme has been developed by coaches from the Chelsea FC Foundation and approved by the professional teamโs technical staff. It fully reflects the clubโs playing philosophy. Exercises focus on ball circulation, technical mastery, small-space play and tactical understanding.
All coaches leading the camp are highly qualified and accredited by Chelsea FC. Their role goes beyond football development. They also support young players mentally while instilling the clubโs core values: discipline, respect, teamwork and self-improvement.
Staff and activities
The Chelsea FC Foundation staff support your children 24 hours a day, on the pitch and off it. They are responsible for supervising daily activities and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
From wake-up to bedtime, they organise activities during free time and remain available to meet the needs of all participants. Their main goal is to ensure that each child enjoys a rewarding and enjoyable experience on campus.
Trips and days out
Excursions are highlights of football camps and take on a special meaning at the Chelsea FC Performance Camp.
Each child will have the opportunity to spend a full day at Chelsea FCโs official training centre. They will train on the professional teamโs pitches. It is a unique and unforgettable experience. Children will also visit Stamford Bridge Stadium and its museum to discover the clubโs history and behind-the-scenes insights.
For participants on a two-week camp, two additional excursions are included:
- A day at a theme park
- London Experience including a tour of the city
Language Class
The Chelsea FC Performance Camp is available as a Football + English programme. Your child will receive 24 hours of football training and 13 hours of English lessons, making this camp ideal for combining fun and progress.
English lessons are taught by highly qualified native teachers. They use the CLIL method, employed in the worldโs leading schools. This approach allows children to work on sports-related projects while improving their English skills.
Classes have around 12 students and a maximum of 14. This ensures a personalized approach for each participant. A report will be provided to parents at the end of the camp to track progress.
Finally, your child will be fully immersed in an English-speaking environment throughout the camp. Learning is continuous and they will see real language improvement compared to their level at arrival.
