In England, football is a lot more than just a game. In the city of Manchester, that is particularly true. In recent years, Manchester City have set themselves apart from other English teams, thanks to an incredibly high quality team that always challenges for the title and tries to go as deep as possible in the Champions League.
With an offensive, fluid playing style based on movement and possession, Manchester City makes old and young fans alike dream. So, why not make this dream a reality by taking part in a Manchester City football camp?
For one or several weeks, your child could live the dream and participate in daily training sessions within the Etihad Campus, one of the best training centres in the world.
As well as a 100% football focused camp, Manchester City partnered with British Study Center to offer a camp 50% based on football and 50% based on language classes. You can find all the details and information on this page.

Camp facilities
The essentials
- En-suite rooms
- Accommodation a 20 minute bus ride from the training centre
- Training at the Etihad Campus
- Very high quality sporting facilities
- Allergies and dietary requirements taken into account
Location
During the camp, the kids will divide their time between the accommodation in Richmond Park and Etihad Campus where they will train.
Of course, the stadium used by the professional Manchester City team is located within this campus. The official training academy, called the City Football Academy (CFA), and the international headquarters can also be found on the premises.
The inhabitants of Manchester, known as Mancunians, are well known for their friendliness and their cheerfulness. The same can be said for most of the north of England: northerners are known for being welcoming, helpful and approachable. Manchester is a charming city to visit all year round, with lots of things to see and do of cultural importance.
Accommodation
The campers are hosted at Richmond Park in the university of Manchestr, a 10 minute bus journey to the training pitches. A private bus will ferry the young players and the staff each day.
All the rooms are comfortable and functional en-suite rooms.
Within the residence, the children will have access to a swimming pool, sporting facilities, common rooms with a television that will broadcast matches, video game consoles, pool tables, a cinema room, the Internet (Wi-Fi), etc. It will be impossible for anyone to be bored during free time!
The training kit given to each camper at the start will be washed for free. If any camper has further washing needs, washing machines will be available to use.
The sporting Facilities
Manchester City Football School’s Football camps  take place in the heart of the Etihad Campus at the City Football Academy – a state-of-the-art training facility.
Shared by Manchester City’s First Team, Women’s team, and Academy teams alike, this 80-acre facility has been designed to help young players achieve their goals in a truly remarkable location.
The City Football Academy boasts an impressive 16 indoor and outdoor pitches. As a player on our programme, you’ll have full access to these inspiring grounds. The full-sized indoor field located in the middle of the Academy’s training facility, is a truly remarkable setting in which to train and play.
Catering and food
All the Manchester City camps are full board. This means that breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner are all included.
The campers will have breakfast and dinner in the same residence that they sleep in.
Lunches will be served at the Connell residence, except when there are days out and excursions, in which case each camper will receive a delicious packed lunch.
All specific dietary requirements and allergies are of course taken into account, just make sure to include them in the registration form.
Safety and security
The residence is monitored and supervised by a security team 24 hours a day. As it is university accommodation, it is separated from the rest of university.
Campus security will patrol the training centre during the day. There is no reason whatsoever to worry.

Training
The Manchester City camps offer two different programs for future campers:
- 100% football focused camp: 15 hours of training on the pitch and 15 hours of workshops based on different parts of football
- 50% based on football and 50% based on language classes: 15 hours of training on the pitch and 15 hours of language classes
Once a program has been chosen, the kids will be divided into two primary age groups that follow two different footballing programs:
- 9 to 13 year olds will take on the development program
- 14 to 17 year olds will take on the performance program
The development program focuses on the fundamentals of the sport. All aspects of the game will be worked on, such as passing, dribbling and shooting.
The performance program uses more interactive methods and in depth workshops and trainings to touch on more strategic aspects of football, like positioning for example.
Both programs have 15 hours of training sessions over five days, which comes to 3 hours per day. The training sessions should take place from 10:30 AM to 12 PM and 3 PM to 4:30 PM.
Each training session is meticulously organised and prepared, allowing for a logical evolution over the course of the week. It generally starts with specific technical exercises and finishes with more general, tactical and team based sessions against an opposition.
There will also be an emphasis on behaviour on and off the pitch. Indeed, work ethic and discipline are massively important for the success of any footballer.
It is well worth noting that the training session program was prepared in conjunction with Manchester City’s technical team.
Football workshop or language classes
As well as that, from 9 AM to 10 AM and from 1 PM to 2:30 PM, the campers will take part in either:
- Two football workshops: diet and nutrition, interviews, recovery… (100% football focused program)
- Or two English language classes, details below (50/50 football and language classes program)
Therefore, the camp is intense and the girls and boys will need to be well disciplined and motivated so that they can improve throughout the week without exhausting themselves.
Whether they take part in the 100% football focused program or the 50/50 football and language classes program, your kids will have a busy week or weeks. Don’t worry though, the staff will keep checking that each and every camper is not over tired and is enjoying themselves. Of course, they will also have free time to have fun with their new friends and enjoy themselves.
Coaches and coaching method
The coaches at the camps are qualified, professional and experienced.
They follow a strict methodology and training program that has been carefully thought out to allow for the most progress throughout the week for the campers.
As well as improving, the aim of the camp is to transmit the Manchester City footballing philosophy to each young player, based on possession of the ball, technical ability and fluidity with and without the ball. Of course, this philosophy has been largely shaped and perfected by Manchester City’s iconic manager, Pep Guardiola.
Staff and activities
As well as the coaches, a team of staff members will take care of the youngsters throughout the week, whether that involves overseeing breakfast, taking the kids to the Etihad Campus for training sessions, workshops or language classes, or anything else.
They will be present at meal times and in the evenings to make sure the campers go to sleep, have a shower and do anything else they need to do. The team will also organise fun games and activities in the morning that the kids always love taking part in.
For the camps dedicated to girls, of course, there will be female staff members available at all times, to make sure the girls don’t feel uncomfortable.
Trips and days out
As well as discovering the Etihad Campus, the kids will visit the impressive Etihad Stadium, that can seat 55 000 fans. Transport is included.
Also, 2 week programmes (14-17) get a trip to Alton Towers (theme park) and National Football museum (included).
Language Class
After football, English class time!
The British Study Centre teachers are obviously qualified to give English lessons, but on top of that, they love football. This means that the lessons will be based on football, allowing for a much more fun and lively learning experience.
During the 15 hours of learning, the kids will improve their English capabilities with exercises built around footballing themes, such as journalistic analysis, player interviews and texts about the lives of football stars.
Additionally, the theoretical lessons will be supplemented with oral practice, through concrete activities like press conferences, match commentary and interviews where the campers play the roles of both journalist and player. Not only is it fun, but the practical aspect of oral activities like this mean that the kids will stay focused and learn English more easily.
After arriving at the camp, the kids will take a linguistic test to evaluate their English level. Each child will receive individualised feedback before each lesson to help them develop their English skills and to give them advice. It is worth noting that e-learning material will be sent to each camper before they arrive, so that they can learn the basics of English and the football language and lingo before they arrive.
After the camp, a summary of the classes will be provided so that the kids can build on what they learnt, and the parents have a summary of what the kids learnt. The e-learning will still be accessible a few weeks after the camp too!
This complete, efficient learning program is put in place so that each camper’s progress in English will be obvious by the end of the week.
Remember, depending on the age of the camper, the length and the program of the camp will be different, as follows:
- 9 to 13 year olds: one week camp
- 14 to 17 year olds: two week camp

The schedule is susceptible to change based on the weather or days out, but here is an example of a typical day:
