Founded in 1848, Lancing College has a brilliant reputation on the academic front, which is matched by their sporting reputation, thanks to their top of the range equipment and facilities.
Accommodation
Lancing College, a private school, is an exceptional campus. Your child will spend a week (or two) in a historic setting with top of the range infrastructure.
The College has both double bedrooms and dormitories. Campers will be allocated rooms when they arrive, based on the ages of the kids. There is an indoor pool, a gym room and a common room, where the campers will be able to enjoy time together playing ping-pong, cards or video games. There is also a little shop where the kids can buy food or drink if they want to. Wi-fi access is available for everyone.
The sporting facilities, the canteen and the accommodation are all located in the same place, so everything is within walking distance. Your child will spend an incredible week in an extremely British environment!
The sporting Facilities
Chelsea FC does not do things by half! They are offering your child top-class facilities and an incredible camp, in similar conditions to the pros! Lancing College possesses 8 natural grass fields, as well as 3 covered fields in order to guarantee training sessions no matter what the weather is.
A soccer player’s work does not end with training sessions on the field and Nike knows that. That’s why a gym and an indoor swimming pool will be at the campers’ disposition, to perfect their training and development.
Catering and food
This camp is offered as a full-board camp with all meals included: breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner.
All the meals were designed by nutritionists and fill all the nutritional needs of a high level athlete.
Of course, you may specify any and all allergy and dietary requirements, which will be taken into account to offer alternatives. Remember to mention them when signing up to the camp.
Safety and security
Security is crucial for all our Looking For Soccer camps. Except for excursions, everything takes place within the campus of Lancing College, and a security team supervises it 24 hours a day. They will make sure of your children’s safety.

Training
Chelsea FC offers two distinct options for its soccer camps :
- The first option, called “Total Soccer”, combines 24 hours of training with 8 hours of theoretical workshops run by the Chelsea FC Foundation. These workshops cover various aspects of the life of a professional player, including physical preparation, recovery, lifestyle, etc…
- The second option, ‘Soccer + English’, also includes 24 hours of training, supplemented by 13 hours of English lessons.
All participants follow a similar timetable, with two training sessions a day, one in the morning and one in the early evening. The only difference is the afternoon session. Participants in the ‘Total Soccer’ 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.
Coaches and coaching method
Chelsea FC Foundation coaches were responsible for establishing the training program of the Chelsea FC Academy. The program will challenge the players and lead to rapid progress. The methodology is based on combining high intensity with technique, tactics, understanding of the game and self-belief.
The coaches at the camp are all highly experienced and have obtained coaching diplomas. They are all certified by Chelsea FC, carefully selected thanks to their mentality and qualities that must be in line with the values of the Blues.
Staff and activities
The Chelsea FC Foundation coaches will also be tasked with taking care of the kids and making sure that every camper is enjoying themselves on a day-to-day basis.
From the wakeup to meals to managing free time, they will keep a close eye on things, assuring that the children are having a pleasant time and that they don’t need anything.
Trips and days out
As well as the chance to live in an exceptional setting, this camp also offers exciting and memorable excursions!
Every camper will have the opportunity to train and play at the official Chelsea FC training center. It will be an unforgettable, life-long memory when they run onto the same fields and train at the same facilities as their favourite Chelsea players! They will also be lucky enough to visit the legendary Stamford Bridge stadium and its museum.
There are two more excursions planned for campers staying two weeks: a tour of London and Niketown as well as a visit of Portsmouth’s historic dockyard. A crucial moment of culture that is typical to our soccer camps.
Language Class
The Chelsea FC camp’s English program permits a concrete learning of Shakespeare’s language over 13 hours of lessons. On top of that, the kids will be encouraged to speak English in their day-to-day life, whether it’s on the field, during classes or with their friends. 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. The method, based on conversation, has been tried and tested, and helps the kids be confident in speaking more. They will be granted more autonomy and creativity will be encouraged through fun activities. They will improve very fast!
For optimal teaching conditions, each class will have a maximum of 12 students per teacher.
At the end of the week, the students will receive a written report, a certificate and individual feedback from their teacher with advice on how to continue to improve once the camp ends.
