Training
At Worth School, you can choose between 2 programmes for your children, depending on your wishes and especially your child’s wishes:
- The 100% Soccer programme, which includes 30 hours of soccer training for an intensive soccer camp with 2 training sessions per day.
- The “English + Soccer” programme, which is a programme for children who want to progress in soccer and in English, with 15 hours of training and 15 hours of English lessons.
“Play the Arsenal Way” is the method that the players will follow on this Arsenal camp. It’s a method inspired by Arsenal’s youth academies, which enable players to improve their footballing skills and gain a better understanding of the game. This training programme was designed by the Technical Director of Arsenal Development. Players taking the 100% Soccer option will have 2 training sessions a day, while those taking the English lessons will have one session a day. In all cases, the programme has been designed to ensure that all players progress.
This progression is possible thanks to the varied content of the training sessions: individualised technical sessions, tactical sessions and matches to put into practice what has been learnt. This progression is also possible thanks to tests that help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each child and guide the coaches towards the exercises to be put in place. The mental aspect of the athlete is also very important on Arsenal camps. Building self-confidence and personal development is an important part of this football camp.
Goalkeepers can choose the Specific Goalkeeper option for personalised sessions during the week of the camp.
Coaches and coaching method
As explained above, the players will follow the ‘Play the Arsenal Way’ methodology. This methodology is used by all the teams in all categories at Arsenal. This methodology is inspired by that of the professional team, with possession, speed, intensity and forward play. These are all aspects that your children will work on in this Arsenal camp.
In order to implement this programme, we have qualified coaches with lots of experience. All the coaches have UEFA B diplomas and English Football Association Youth certification. At the end of the camp, each coach will hand out a progress certificate so that parents can see what their child has achieved.
Staff and activities
24 hours a day, 7 days a week a team of staff will supervise the campers.
Throughout the week, the kids will have free time and they will take part in activities to fill this free time. A team of staff members will ensure that the campers enjoy themselves and organise these activities.
Trips and days out
As well as spending a week or two at one of England’s finest schools, your child will also have the chance to go on 2 memorable excursions. The players who will be on a 2-week camp will be taking these weekend trips to relax and unwind.
The 1st excursion is a visit to Arsenal FC’s Emirates Stadium. They will visit this mythical ultra-modern stadium, with access to the conference room, changing rooms, pitchside and the museum. They will also go to the shop if they want to take home a souvenir from this excursion.
The 2nd excursion is a visit to the city.
These two excursions will give your children a break from training.
Language Class
If you have chosen the “Soccer + English” option, your children will have 15 hours of English lessons per week on this Arsenal camp. The day will therefore consist of 3 hours of soccer training and 3 hours of English lessons. This could be in the morning or afternoon.
The English lessons are given by qualified and enthusiastic English teachers. The programme is based on recognised methods that enable each child to make effective progress. They will have 3 lessons:
- English Core: focusing on vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation
- Enrichment: focusing on oral communication, listening comprehension, reading and writing
- Projects: work on a group project to put into practice what they are learning.
The teachers will monitor your child’s progress every day via tests to challenge them and speed up learning. This special attention from each teacher to each student is made possible by working in small groups. There is a maximum of 14 students per teacher.
Finally, it’s important to note that your child will be in a 100% English-speaking environment throughout the week, both on and off the course, so your child will be learning continuously.

What’s the procedure for leaving the campus?
The departure list will be posted two days before the planned departure date, with departure times for all children concerned. Departure times are calculated according to the transport time from the centre to the departure point and the check-in time for your child’s train/plane.
If your child believes that a mistake has been made regarding their departure time, they should inform an Administrator who will check their ticket and make any necessary changes.
On the day of departure, your child must pack all his/her belongings and be ready for the departure time that has been communicated to him/her.

I’ve chosen the camp with language lessons. How will you form the level groups?
Two weeks before your child arrives at the camp, he or she will have to take an online English assessment to accurately evaluate his or her level of English before the start of the camp. This will enable us to form groups efficiently.
What about the airport/station transfer when my child arrives?
When you take the transfer option, players are met in the arrivals hall by a camp representative. Camp staff will wait to see if other players arrive at similar times before taking them all to their accommodation. For their return journey, players will be checked in and escorted through security checks in time for their flight. Staff will remain at the airport or station until all flights or trains have departed. Players will be supervised at all times by a member of the camp staff before security checks for departures, and after security checks for arrivals
